Why is the corner 3 considered as the easiest one? (alien.top)

I always struggled with the corner shots because I have less of a spacial reference with the side of the backboard facing me. Shooting from the top of the key should be much easier, no? I always had the most success with the 45 degree angle one, right between the key and the corner. Maybe that's just me though.

I never hated, but disliked the corners, something about depth perception or something, much prefer wing or at top

Agreed, in high school the distance is the same so it doesn’t matter. If you’re shooting by yourself it takes more energy to practice corner shots because misses can go all over the place so I rarely practiced this. It’s not too much work to get good at them, though, if you can shoot from other spots.
