- DeMar DeRozan has had a solid NBA career. He's one of the last NBA stars to have a legit mid-range game at his disposal. Some critics would say his playstyle doesn't constitute winning in today's NBA. What was once a staple of successful basketball, is the mid range, iso style basketball player out of date?

Weird since I’m watching Giannis dig his team out of a hole by utilizing the midrange instead of settling for a 3
tell that to sga!
The midrange game is dead for guys who aren't inefficient, who can't create their own shot. That's not Derozan
Agreed
Norm Nixon if any OGs are here.
I disagree.
Getting points efficiently =good for winning basketball. But just like with any other scoring method, you actually need to be on quality, balanced teams for it to matter. Don't get it twisted. Most of these teams that just launch 3s or defensively have cones out there trying to play d aren't playing winning basketball either. That's why only a handful of teams are actually title contenders. If Demar was on the Celtics, Grizzlies, Mavericks, Rockets, Bucks, Knicks etc, this wouldn't be a question.
100 percent agree
This whole video is bogus. Glad there’s a lot of comments saying the same. SGA is one of the best and has his team sitting at #1 while being a midrange savant. Derozan has ranked in the top of the league the past few yrs in clutch pts because he’s able to get to his spot in the 4th. Derozans game translates to playoff ball because when the offense stalls you can give it to him on the block and he’ll get a bucket or free throws…terrible take
Sac will be a top 5 team by playoff time, this video will age like bananas
I don't think you watched the video my man. I don't agree with the initial tweet, I'm a fan of the mid range game, and of DeRozan. Preciate you watching, and the comment 🫡
Midrange is same points as a layup....so layups are dead too?
In today's NBA, only layups and 3pt shots are valued. People have this idea that if you are going to take a jumpshot, it should be a 3 pointer, since you can get the exact same points from a layup or dunk as you can a mid range shot. So some people, mostly the basketball analytical folks, devalue the mid range game, and see it as a very low percentage option.
@coachcriscoe nah the midrange game is dead for those that can't shoot. Gimme timmy, Charles Oakley, derozan, kobe and Tony Parker (all masters of the midrange) and they beat steph, ray Allen, reggie, Durant and dirk
I agree, I'm a fan of the mid range. When I played, I was mid range and slasher type. The NBA before wasn't so 3point happy, so now teams are in love with taking 3s if you're going to take a jump shot. Kids don't even practice mid range action, everyone wants to chuck 30ft jumpers. My favorite player all time is Kobe, so being able to score from all levels is a necessity to me
