Hasn't this been the case for a LONG time? Back when Cassell was doing his thing, everyone talked about how he was one of the few players who could hit that shot, and did, with regularity. That was over 10 years ago.

A lot of it has to do with midrange being a vulnerable position to be in, as a shooter. You've got defenders possibly coming from every side, including behind you, which you can't see. Out at the three and near the rim you've got the baseline/halfcourt lines to work with, with means less space defenders can take up and therefore the ball is easier to protect on shots.

Much simpler explanation than that.

1) It is much easier to make your shot around the basket because, duh, you're closer to the rim.

2) You get 150% as many points for a three point jump shot as a two point jump shot, but it's not 150% as difficult to make that three pointer.

That shot chart reminds me of every rec league I have played in. Either you shoot you a three or get to the hole.

Is this what it is like looking up from a toilet?
