Is there a way to see which teams in general take the most midrange shots? I actually like
The spurs have been attacking the rim and shooting more 3’s compared to last season.

Here's a comparison to last season (couldn't specifically find %FGA for mid range shots but should be close enough):

Looks pretty much the same as last year except the improvement in fast break points and points off FT. Unfortunately the huge drop in 3P% negates all of that.

I changed "players" to "teams" in url and it worked

Thanks for sharing this!

Thanks buddy, I tried that but it originally didn’t work for me for some reason. Cheers!

So the team is taking even more shots from mid range this season.

Shot distribution by zone:



season
mid range
paint
three


2019-2020
26%
41.3%
32.7%


2018-2019
24.7%
38.1%
37.2%

It's simple mathematics with all of the 3 point shooting volume now. You have to take and make a reasonable volume of threes to survive and thrive in today's NBA.

There are too many good shooters in the league to act like this isn't true.

Water is wet
Spurs are bad

[timvp]

A pair of Clippers players are 3rd and 4th on the list so it's not like midrange shots = automatic losses, tbh.

It’s more like a pair of LMA and DeRozan’s = automatic losses. It’s not the shots. It’s the talent level of those taking them and their ability to do other things to impact winning (which you obviously know).

[Slippy]

When you have the likes of Bryn Forbes, Demar Derozan and Marco Bellini defending on other end. Its probably a good thing to shoot from mid range rather than the three..
