I expect the practice to continue and expand. Being a full-court shooter in eliminations is going to become increasingly difficult, or impossible.
I think they just have to be more than one dimensional, if they are not a second round pick.

Our biggest issue was that once we were forced out of the loading zone, we were not that effective.

BUT...a full court shooter does require almost 100% commitment of a defender, if they can line up and shoot really quickly. You know the damage that can be done if they are left alone.

Give me a robot capable of quick full court shots, accurate from the pyramid, and a 50pt hang and I'll take it.
