I don't think it was an accident that Rip Hamilton had such a great career.
a great 3pt shooter will keep a defense honest.
a great shooter period will keep a team guessing.
Back to fundamentals though, a long 2 isn't necessarily my problem. A contested long 2 early in the shot clock will make me rip my hair out. Because THAT is the worst shot in the basketball.
A contested long 2 should only be shot if there is between 4 and zero seconds left on the clock. Because 5 seconds is more than enough to set up some type of screen action, or quick post up.
