On offense or defense? Last year our opponents shot 32.5% against the three. This opens the court up more, so we really need a rim protector back there. No matter who we have playing the top of the zone this goes down at least a point to 31.5% Unless of course our guys aren't active. With more depth, it should be.effective players, now that the 3 point line has been moved back?

wouldn't that depend on how well they shoot it from that distance in competition...something we have no stats on yet?

They did this in the NIT the last two years and there was little statistical difference in attempts and percentages compared to the NCAA tournament. Much ado about nothing.
Examining the Effects of NIT Rule Changes: Extended 3-Point Line, Wider Lane - Stadium
Nine inches is kinda a big deal...I believe it's only 9 inches further out. 19-9 vs 20-6. I don't think it's a big deal. Players shoot regularly from 25 feet nowadays.
Seems like an odd distance in English measure. It equates to 6.75 meters, which is probably how the international rules specify it. Kind of odd that America hasn't gone metric after all these years.22 feet, 1 3/4 inches
22 feet, 1 3/4 inches
Isn't that the NBA line?

I don’t think a greater than 1 percent drop in percentage is nothing ..
But these stats are also not applicable to a situation where teams play under the new parameters regularly instead of it being thrust upon them transiently .. we may very well see better team exploitation of the widened lane and more spread out D ..perhaps creating more mid range play
A 1% change means a difference of about 1 three point basket every five games.
