I think (hope) that most teams' human players will wise up and understand that throwing for the entire 2:10 just is not effective and infact is detrimental.
It will be interesting to see how this proceeds today and tomorrow.

Not every team had a decent goal or court to shoot at during build. I expect Thursday and maybe even today that a number of teams will take the "Shoot as often as possible strategy" to gain more experience on a real field. If the strategy works, this should help them improve their scoring accuracy by the end of today.

They may not end up in the top 8, but a good scouting team in the top 8 will see this change in accuracy, and watch them closely tomorrow morning. There are always a couple of teams that walk in rough, but improve significantly before Saturday, and are a good selection for playoffs.
