re: Maravich scoring

Many teams only try layups or 3 pointer. They active discourage mid-range game.

If Pete would get 3 points instead of two do you not think their main defensive gameplan would be to limit his 3pt attempts. I know it’s counter intuitive but you can’t consider the offensive potential without also considering the defensive changes and tactics a rule change that big would make.

He might get a lot more assists though drawing so much attention allowing team ages to get better looks.
