A: I am in total agreement and have been for years, even before this explosion of 3-point shots. The beauty of the game is creating ball movement to get the closest (and highest-percentage) shot at the rim. At least that's the way it was when all baskets were created equally. Now, I totally appreciate the benefits with spacing that the 3-point line has produced and certainly understand the metrics of maximizing points per possession with 3-point shots. Here is what I have previously proposed (but now totally appreciate that this ship has sailed): Teams get 20 3-point attempts per game, to use when and how they want. Therefore, as long as the allotment hasn't been met, the defense still has to respect the 3-point threat, and therefore spacing still can be created. Once a team exceeds that allotment, then all of that team's baskets count for two points, no matter where taken. I believe that would help create more complete players, rather than the ultra premium at the moment on 3-point specialists.
