That's f*cked up. so spaces won't open up significaly, they are just hoping that less 3s will start dropping. Weird logic, make scores in europe even smaller.

Yep. It will probably be significantly harder to score in good competitions now. I'm not sure what the hell FIBA is thinking? There will be so many turnovers at the corners and they will practically eliminate that shot.
Only the smallest of guards like 1.90 and smaller will be able to handle that corner shot probably.

yes the corners seem to be out of the picture. i am convinced that consistent shooters will continue doing just fine from 3p, but i don't get fiba's logic behind not increasing the size while puting the 3p line at 6.75, as the logical conlusion to that is less scoring overall. An that is supposed to be a good thing?

Plus with the lane smaller the big men will be packed closer to the rim. I agree the good shooters will adjust fine but the average shooters will shoot worse. Overall I don't understand the logic here. ACB saying LEB had 3 turnovers a game in the corners from guys stepping on the line. That is ridiculous.

Are you serious? now one of the best shooting positions is gone.. it really sucks, why don't they just cancel the three point arc? we'd all love to see 50-40 games won't we?
