quote:Nah, the midrange shot is a lost art of basketball. With the recent infatuation of advanced stats a lot of people think it's a bad shot. It's not. Imo it is important because you become more of a threat on offense. If you don't have a great mid range game, then players can just sag off you since you're not a threat to score from outside.
needs to take a step back and shoot 3s

I don't think the argument is that you should be bad at mid range shots. I think it's that you shouldn't take them. If your opponent knows that you have the range to make them, then they won't sag off of you.
IMO the risk of the mid range shot isn't worth the reward, when you could step 3 feet back and get 1 more point per shot. You are better off getting closer to the basket and taking an easier shot, or shooting from 3 feet further away and getting 1 more point per shot.
