Reading the FiveThirtyEight article on Morey Ball today wow... the rockets almost literally took no mid range 2pt shots!

I think that is a unique experiment that will prove a fluke rather than trend. Mid range jumpers still have value, and when they are those 18footers that Bosh/Aldridge/Duncan swish more routinely than Curry makes a 3 then they are both MORE efficient shots and still space the floor and open the paint.

Indeed Bosh becoming a "stretch 5" probably hurt Miami in2014 more than it helped, Bosh is a lights out midrange shooter averaging about 60%.. he was a 35% 3shooter, not bad, but not exactly money..

I think most teams will look at Rockets and say, "nah" at totally abandoning midrange shots
