If you shot the ball from inside the arch, you will get 2 points, outside the arch, 3 points, and free throws for 1 point each.
In basketball, free throws (ft) or foul shots are unopposed attempts to score points from a restricted area on the court (the free throw line; informally known as the charity stripe or foul line), and are generally awarded after a foul by the opposing team. Each free throw is worth one point, and normally more than one is awarded. The importance of free throws is nevertheless sometimes underestimated; games have been known to be decided on them, especially when the score is close. Teams who could have sealed the game on free throws can finish with a narrow win or even a loss because of failure behind the line.
3 Actually it is 5, the highest shot you can hit would be a three-pointer, but if you were fouled flagrantly, then you would get two free throws, and could have a rare five-point-play.
