The corner three is one of the most efficient shots in basketball, why? It is the closest distance three point shot in regards to proximity from the basket, especially the short corner. The corner three allows more floor space on the fast break for the ball handler. When a fast break has capable shooters running the floor, they often fill the lane by leaking out to the corners, opening 2 or 3 options for the ball handler, instead of just him putting his head down and attacking the basket. It also is one of the easier places to get to from either setting a screen or having a screen set.
