Brilliant. I want a game where we only shoot layups. The mid-range is fine as long as not contested. The issue is a mid-range shot is more contested than a 3-point shot most of the time. If you can get to the front of the rim, do it. Most valuable player in hoops is if you can get to the front of the rim consistently. Check out Kirk Goldsberry‘s book on the nba shooting. Area 12, which is an 8 foot shot out of the post is the least efficient shot in basketball. [/QUOTE]
