Best Midrange shooter in the league. (Kyrie Irving)

Kyrie is leading the NBA in midrange shooting efficiency by a large margin, in an era of advanced statistics which encourages the 3 point shot Kyrie is making the midrange game relevant again.


Kyrie is shooting 57.1% from 10-16 and 52.1% from 16-23

Compare that to Stephen Curry.

Curry is shooting 49.0% from 10-16 and 48.8% from 16-23

Kevin Durant and CP3 have the most volume on the best efficiency. So you could argue them over Kyrie.

He's not even the best mid-range shooter on his own team :roll: :roll:

52.1% mid-range is insane. Thats close to peak Dirk (albeit on less points).

2011:

[QUOTE] According to NBA.com's StatsCube, LeBron made 45 percent of his midrange jumpers this season, which is an incredibly efficient mark for a high-usage perimeter player. Paul Pierce made 44 percent of his midrange jumpers. Kobe Bryant made 42 percent. Derrick Rose made 40 percent. Dwyane Wade, 40 percent. Kevin Durant, 42 percent. Carmelo Anthony, 42 percent.

Ray Allen shot 46 percent, barely edging out LeBron.

Statistically speaking, out of all the high-usage perimeter players in the league, LeBron was the best midrange shooter not named Dirk Nowitzki (Dirk shot 53 percent -- he's a freak).[/QUOTE]

Word? What's the actual real leader on his team shooting %?

Lebron had two immense shooter seasons from midrange in Miami, he needs to get more left elbow touch's, he's absolutely devastating from there.

Dirk is one of the greatest if not the greatest midrange shooter of all-time. :bowdown: :bowdown:

Okay? Its not just percentages


Look at the volume of shots, defensive attention faced, and amount of shots off the dribble


Take these all into account, and LeBron is a [I]hair[/I] better than Kyrie


And I'm a Kyrie fan

How many has he attempted? KD right now has the best mid-range game.

Been saying this for years. That foul line shot off the dribble is straight money.
