Will MSU benefit from the deeper 3-pt. line?

The best thing about the new 3 point line is that it provides more room inside to dribble penetrate. Lucas/Walton/Lucious will have opportunities to be triple option threats on the dribble penetration - go to the hoop, dump off to an inside guy, kick out to a perimeter shot.

True, the extra distance will make it more difficult for defenders to come off their man to guard the open 3 from the kickout, although that's a double edged sword.

I'm surprised the writer didn't project the change having an impact on the wolvies getting back home to the NIT this year. The move back should make it difficult to create the magic we saw last year from that innovative offense.
