Curious that she and her brother have different strengths I did not realize that the women’s 3 point line has been moved back significantly
From The Athletic
17. Katie Benzan, Maryland Among high-volume 3-point shooters last season (more than six per game), no player had a better shooting percentage than Benzan at 50 percent. This offseason, the NCAA approved the move of the 3-point line nearly a foot-and-a-half, aligning the new line with the international and WNBA mark. While I’m curious to see how 3-point shooting looks across the board with the farther line, I’m extra curious to see how the best of the best are impacted. Here’s the thing: The 3-point line has always been a separator, but as players adjust to the new line (and team percentages likely go down) it could be an even larger separator. Having a specialist — like Benzan — could give Maryland a huge advantage

What would make you think they should have the same strengths?
Furthermore this is the MBB forum. Move it to WBB.

I did nit realize that the women’s 3 point line has been moved back significantly The women’s three-point line has been moved back from 20-9 to about 22-1. The women’s line is now the same as the men’s line and also the same as used by FIBA. note that this is identical to the change that was made in the men’s rules in 2019.
