I think there are two key differences between basketball and this years game.

With regards to the 3 pt shot, in basketball, it is significantly more difficult to shoot than a 2pt shot. Where as in this years game there is little difference. Actually in this game if you decided on an angle you wanted the ball to fall into the hoop at, the 2 point shot would have to be taken from a greater distance.

The second difference is rebounding. For this I will refer to it as the long shot rather than the 3 pt shot, because I think it is applicable. In basketball you take the long shot, assuming that you will be able to rebound it at about 50%. So the value of 3 pt shots is not just 3 * attempts * %, but rather 3 * attempts * % + 2 * attempts * .5 * 2 pt FG%

I am curious as to what people think the various stats would be for shooting from the top of the key vs the bottom of the key. And also how many rebounds can be made. I imagine a team that can shoot from the top of the key and cross the barrier, paired with 2 teams that rebound well would be a stronger alliance than 3 robots that shoot 66% from the bottom of the key
