How would the defense evolve? At this point I honestly don't know.

A good starting point would be staying in front of your guy. Luka hits that fadeaway 3 and there's nothing you can do.

Only two ways to change it. Adj floor width or change scoring.

you don't have to widen the floor

Best solution IMO. Or maybe require 2 offensive players to be below the 3 line?
