Trying to optimize every shot's value individually gives too much info to the defense,

this makes no sense

in terms of defensive spacing, the physical difference in a long 2 and 3 is almost 0. it's like 2 feet or so

Ask Durant why his big changes were making all shots better and speading the threat around, not eliminating long 2's.

he, and lebron, shoot fewer long 2s and more 3s now, though

You can define a long 2 that restrictively if you want, but 2 feet of space can make a big difference.

I fail to see how you are doing anything but agreeing with me.

ETA: Your narrower view of my use of the term defense as being merely defensive spacing may be one of our disconnects.
