Yes.

If the clock is stopped and an inbounds pass is to be made, the clock will only restart when it touches a player. Therefore 3 seconds is plenty of time for a player to catch and shoot the ball, he could probably take a few dribbles in that time as well.

There was a shot made by Derek Fisher for the LA Lakers against the San Antonio Spurs where there was only 0.3 seconds left on the clock, and he caught and shot the ball in those fractions of a second and won the game

Answer:

If they are inbounding the ball under the basket and the other team is in a half court defence they can roll the ball and not touch it until around half court because the clock does not start until a player touches the ball, then the best shooter can have time to get the ball have a few dribbles and shoot a long distance three pointer.

At what point does a pass no longer count as an assist in a basketball game?

When the player that receives the pass dribbles the ball.

Actully no, an assist counts if the playr that got th bal passed to scores in less then 2 seconds. Not when he dribbles. Thats not true. You get 3 seconds 2 score.

The 3 second call in the lane does not start until the offense has brought the ball into the front court. At this point if a player spends 3 or more consecutive seconds in the lane, they are violating the 3 second rule.
