That is why you see all the time they are just letting an open layup only to not get a three (and potentially quickly score a three on next possession). Player like Jimmer should be perfect for 3on3, I was surprised he wasn't more impactful against Serbia (I just caught the game). I am also surprised we don't see more established players, but 3on3 is a very different game than regular basketball.
Exactly - especially since you don’t keep possession after scoring, otherwise a safe layup or short range shot would be more effective. The three also increases the chance for offensive rebounds. Another mighty shot is an „and 1“, because you get a free throw to double your score when you finish a layup with a foul.
Which three players of the current US national team would you put on the floor?
