Any "shot" from beyond the 3-point arc is 3 points (NF). Once the ball drops so that there is no possibility of it passing through the basket (i.e., just before it hits the floor and from then on), the try (shot) has ended. When the ball passes through the basket (in this case on the bounce), then 2 points are awarded (unless it is a 3-point try which I already explained it is not).

If this were an inbound pass and the ball was not touched (as implied) then it is an inbound violation and no points are awarded.
