What I was trying to say (badly) player A takes 5 3 pointers and makes two…they have six points on two makes whiles player B takes 5 2 pointers and makes 3, resulting in six points on three makes. If you divide by total shots, they are both 1.0. The additional missed shot from player A is a scoring opportunity for the other team. The efficiency of a high volume 3 point shooter will look better than it really is when you consider the full outcome of the shot. If the miss results in a turnover, there is more to consider than just the outcome of the shot.
