The stigma of midrange or long 2's is simply a product of lazy-to-boneheaded analysis. If people don't shoot credible shots from all over the floor, the defense can focus in certain areas without overcommitting. With those credible threats, the defense has to cover the entire floor, it helps you take more of the more efficient shots AND have the actually be more efficient.
Simply going "all dunks and 3's" helps the defense stop those shots when then makes those midrange shots more attractive, and so it goes.
It's not about should a team shoot those, but rather who should shoot them and how often.
To me, take your worst players and set them up to succeed. Let your best players fill in the spaces. That strategy makes your less credible threats as credible as possible, which keeps the D `honest'.
Hence, the AD's and TD's of the world practice and take those `junk' shots. They do well at them, to boot. Why? Because they practice it.
Who cares about the average? You plan for the team you have.

well you're not going to TOTALLY eliminate it, and i don't expect him to just magically have a 3 point shot
but he's taking very long 2s. those should translate to 3s, and it needs to be something he develops if he's going to play soft. look at the difference for lebron and durant over time
rim and 3s
rim and 3s
rim and 3s
of course you'll take SOME long 2s, but you want your bread and butter to be at the rim and behind the 3 point line

...i do think Davis will take some 3s though in the future...maybe late game in-bounds situations when you can get him wide open cause teams are focusing on Anderson, Morrow, Jrue, etc.
