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 gameAnswer: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.
