Seems like effect rather than cause though. I always assume talented people can mostly cultivate any skill on a priority basis, and genetics will favor the most advantageous overall profile (height in this case)
It was presumed early in the game that all outside shots were low percentage. Take a look at Pete Maravich for an example of someone who completely changed that paradigm...but it wasn’t worth cultivating the skill bc there wasn’t a 3-pt line.
But the 3 point line was added in 1979? So ~30 years before this shift
