But if AD can make the 3 at 34%, it makes sense for him to take a bunch and that's dumb. That just isn't how he should play-- a once in a generation athlete like that. Move it back to 25 and he shoots 18% and never takes them. Ibaka never ruins his career by taking a ton and so on and so on
Big men want to shoot like guards now because that is what is popular and banging down low sucks. There is no reason that AD should shoot 3's now. He shot 29.9% from 3. He also took 348 shots from 16'-22.9', which he should not have taken. AD does what he wants. If they move the line back, AD is just going to start practicing shooting further out.
There really has not been a huge jump in the efficiency of 3 pts taken, just a lot more attempts because teams figured out that it makes sense to take more. I would rather see them reduce the 3 to 2.5 pts if the league continues in this direction. It will never happen because fractional points would cause stupid people too many problems, but it would make 3 pt shots on par with 10-16ft shots in terms of points per attempt for the average player.

What I would actually do if I had full control is genius and would be a ton of fun and make coaches really earn their paychecks. Here it is:
The first 20 attempts from behind that arc (same distance) are worth 3 if you make it. After that, every single attempt from any distance is worth 2.
I won't break down all the reasons it is brilliant and makes the game more fun. Let it marinate and really think it out. But that would be my true solution
