There are lots of other ways to get a full court shot. We nearly had one by accident in our early testing, but dialed it way down; not for safety, but because it's not necessary or even desirable this year. Personally, though I can't say this with certainty, I feel that the close shot (5 ft) is probably going to be the most useful.
