re: 40 percent of shots taken in the NBA are 3’s.

Imagine how good Baylor will be when they realize that their decreased shot percentage from three feet further back is more than offset by being awarded 50% more points for making it than if they had made it from a long two, as the nba has.

What I was getting at was that the long two hit consistently opened up more driving lanes leading to layups and dunks. Yes they also shot very well from 3 point range and I completely understand the 50% value but it was beautiful to watch a team threaten from the entirety of the court
