Reading the article equivalent in the Athletic the other day - I quite like the idea of moving the line season by season based on where the expected points per 3 pointer would match the expected points per 2 pointer, maybe over the average for the previous season or the past few seasons. This would still reward 3 point shooters who could shoot at a clip significantly above the league average, but would also re-emphasize the inside and mid-range game.
I do think something needs to be done, I'm sure there are kids coming through youth basketball now who are taught nothing but to shoot the long three.
