not really. teams running drop back pick and roll d, and ice coverage means the mid range jumper is open every possession. Yes some how tom tibbadeau has been grinding teams to dust for 10 years.
average NBA player shoots 45% on open mid range jumpers, you only got hit 30% from 3 to beat that.
bingo.
If you can break down the d with the the threat of your mid range shooting then fire away.

it would have been funny if the cavs won seeing that lebron was carrying the team by volume shooting low% midrange shots and it worked for a while

Exactly.
But snobby analytic geeks who can't make a lay up playing basketball themselves don't wanna acknowledge any of that.

no one's arguing only take mid range shots, but this notion that shooting mid range shots are the worst shots to take is hokum. well balanced team that takes and makes open shots is the key to winning (along with good defense and limiting turnovers). if a guy is open from 15 feet and he can hit that shot consistently, it isn't a bad shot because it's only worth 2 points.

Sigh really, the nerd argument?
I love it's described as some inflexible attention grabbing argument. All people have said that unless you are super elite at it, the mid range jumper should be the last option.

Once Frazier was off the board when I was up, almost went Manu. Chose KJ instead. Manuuuu
. Except when he's playing my Rockets. Or your Lakers, of course.

You're so defensive, man.
I don't think anyone's even coming at your team like that. I think people are just speaking in general.

The only attention grabbing argument is devaluing someone's pick in a fantasy all time NBA draft on a forum because your number crunching on excel says that there are better shots in basketball than a mid range shot.
The more attention grabbing argument is continuing to hammer away with the same point when NO ONE DISAGREED WITH THAT POINT TO BEGIN WITH.

Monty Williams was running pin downs to free up Jason Smith for mid range jumpers, Jason smith is an good mid range jump shooter, at around 45%. You really think that's a good idea?
You really think you should be running plays that's primary purpose is to generate an open mid range jumper for a 45% shooter?

no one's saying only run plays just for that one shot. in spurts, why not?

I don't think it's a good idea to run plays for Jason smith regardless. But I understand what you're saying

I wish we would have a basketball summit too.
I would love for you to try to show me how analytically great you are on the court. Let's see how many 3 point shots you get up on me.
