Anti Bruce Pearl Rule?

NCAA Moves 3 Point Line
Does this hurt or help us? Some of our players have no problem launching some bad looks from 3. This will either lead to more bad looks or less shots taken. Harper would be fine....not so sure about Bryce last year. Will we have to change our play style? Or does this spread the floor for easier open looks? Will McLemore and Wiley benefit in the lane from better spacing?
Maybe I’m over thinking it, but it seems that this simple rule change could disrupt our style of play. The nega in me sees Doughty, Purifoy, McLemore tossing up a bunch of bricks all season. We will need some shooters to step up if we want to make any type of run for the SEC this year.
What do you guys think? Big problem or not a big deal?

We can call it an anti Bruce Pearl rule but Villanova lit it up 10 3 point shots better the year before. More like an anti-trend rule.

I think it helps our playing style

. . . so who does it hurt more?
A team that's lights out already at current spot or the team that's struggling to make good as it is?

It hurts teams that don't shoot 3s as much. Teams like Auburn who shoot a lot it doesn't really hurt because we shoot enough that we'll still get into a rhythm, a little bit if extra space won't make a huge difference. We weren't exactly taking a lot of our 3s from right against the line anyway, we were already shooting most of them from distance or further.

Might help Wiley out some with more room down low

Like all new rules it won't be an issue for the coaches that adapt and it will hamper those who don't.

In terms of ability and talent to make the shot, it won't hurt us. I do think Harper and Brown had a lot of success taking deeper threes because the opposing team wasn't defending that far outside. With the line being moved, defenses will adjust to be out there making it more difficult to snatch those few deep threes we needed the past two seasons.

Teams who don't space the floor well / shoot at all 5 positions on offense
Teams who play a significant amount of zone defense

Really curious to see how these teams adjust.
