Shoot more 3 pointers?

[DCWildcat]

50% on 2's is considered a great FG%, but 33 1/3% on 3's is considered a bad FG%.

How does that work? From an EV perspective, they're the same. (they both average 1 pt./shot). Since most teams shoot around 40% ish on 2 pointers and 35% on 3's, is it clear that they shoot just shoot more 3's in general? Or is the %chance to hit a 3 too dependent on the quality of the "look" that a player gets to make this kind of assessment?

Some other arguments could be made for not shooting more 3's (easier for offensive rebounders, etc.), but would that be enough to cover the discrepancy? Whatever. Let's hear some discussion.
