Episode 62: Reimagining the Arc: New Ideas for NBA Spacing & Young Stars Shine
In Episode 62 of YAMology, Yonny, Alex, and Matt tackle the rise in NBA three-point shooting and explore potential rule changes to balance the game. They dive into ideas like eliminating the corner three—known for its high efficiency and shorter distance—or even reshaping the three-point line to create more dynamic midrange play. This discussion reflects a growing debate among analysts and fans on whether the league’s three-point obsession is impacting game variety and defense. Suggestions like shrinking the arc or encouraging physicality below the foul line could make for a more diverse shot profile across the league
The hosts then turn their focus to the Rockets vs. Thunder matchup, highlighting the exciting battle between young stars Chet Holmgren and Alperen Şengün. Each is showcasing unique skills that hint at their rising roles as cornerstone players, making this game a preview of future rivalry potential. Rookie spotlight lands on second-round pick Ajay Mitchell, who is already exceeding expectations and establishing his own space in the league.
After Skit departs early, Matt and Alex continue with an in-depth conversation on inverted spacing strategies, especially using guards in the dunker’s spot to create innovative offensive looks. This episode is packed with fresh takes on league trends and player matchups, providing listeners with both insights and a healthy dose of humor.
