Why not just do it from 3 instead of the long 2? Ask Durant and James why he takes as many long 2's as 3's in that chart?
Ask Durant why his big changes were making all shots better and speading the threat around, not eliminating long 2's.
I think we basically agree, and the charts support the claim that the best scorers can and do score effecrively from midrange.
And I get the extra point of yield necessitating less accuracy. That is not the point. The point is for the team to be able to score effectively by keeping the defense from knowing what is going to happen, at least in a partial information sense. It's basically presenting the bad guys with maximum entropy and making them deal with it. Trying to optimize every shot's value individually gives too much info to the defense, so they focus and erode your yield.

This is right.

this makes no sense
in terms of defensive spacing, the physical difference in a long 2 and 3 is almost 0. it's like 2 feet or so

he, and lebron, shoot fewer long 2s and more 3s now, though
