Because this is a "successful try, tap, or thrown ball from the field by a player who is located behind the team's own 19' 9" arc..." (5-2-1), might it count as three points?

(Might want to shadow Rut on this one)
But if it hits the rim and does not go in the basket the shot clock would not be reset if one were being used.
