Re: Where else can you shoot from

As stated before, you can shoot from anywhere, but some spots are tougher than others. It was really interesting to see where people decided to shoot from at competition vs our primary strategy brainstorming. I originally advocated for having a set shot from the key for the 3 pointer as it was immune to defense and very effective in scoring if accurate, but in the end we opted for the fender. This worked out rather nicely, as we encountered much less defense under the key than we first thought, and were able to score relatively well.

There were a lot of other interesting shooting spots as well, including dumping from the side of the fender (a spot used repeatedly in SD and LA by team 702, the Bagel Bytes), as well as barely touching the key from the front or the sides, so that you are still within the penalty zone yet you have an easier shot.
