#4 Golden State Warriors
Stats: Points percentage(2 points, Mid-range) - 16.7
The Golden State Warriors are known for their success from three-point range but there is another part of their offence just as important. The infamous and inefficient mid-range shot has become a market inefficiency for them to exploit.
Midway through March last season, the Warriors were shooting 48.2% on their long twos in a season when the league average is 40.4% and were the most efficient team (0.93 points per possession) on shots between 17 feet from the basket and the three-point line.
When teams were averaging about 16 mid-range jumpers per game, the Defending Champs were averaging 20. On mid-range, the NBA averages 0.79 PPS, but the Warriors, a team stacked with incredible shooters, average 0.94 PPS.
The margin for the Dubs to pull-up for such low-value shots comes from their ability to outperform the opposition in all other aspects of the game. Their versatile arsenal of plays makes these mid-range jumpers less of a pain than what the rest of the teams bear.
Guess the Lakers players!
