"The threes I saw him make, every time he lifted and released, I said, 'This has got a chance,'" Riley said. "And the ones before, when he was jacking them up, they had no chance. He is going to need that a little bit, too, next year.
"Maybe he could become a 40 percent, 38 percent three-point shooter. I wouldn't give him an open look. Once he went to work with the coaches on it, that shot, if he had to take it, was normal. That would be a big added part of his game next year because nobody ever thinks he can do that.
"When you work in a program like (Spoelstra) has for our three-point shooters, if you did it for 20 minutes a day, you are going to improve. He has a release point and he has a shot that will allow him to move at least two or three feet back without throwing the ball out there.
