The league has changed, so more practice it. The defense cannot be as aggressive now, so any ticky tack touch will be called a foul. So I personally believe it gives them a bit more space to work with. And due to the Warriors and their 3's, a lot figured out that 3 is bettr than 2, so more take it.
Sadly, there's a specific team I follow that honestly can't really shoot well lol. Don't want to get into debates about certain teams, so won't so more than that.
