#3 San Antonio Spurs
Stats: Points percentage(2 points, Mid-range) - 16.9
The Spurs always have been at the forefront of basketball analytics. In contrast, keeping in mind how quickly the league is moving to a high-volume 3-point shooting game, the Spurs, thus far, have seemed reluctant to keep up with the pace.
With the injury of Kawhi Leonard(led them to the No. 1 spot in this 3-point category in the 2016-17 season) and the signing of DeMarcus Aldridge(led the league with 553 mid-range field goal attempts last season), the Spurs have moved to a mid-range-centric offence. The Spurs rank 4th in the frequency of total shots taken from mid-range.
While much of the NBA has moved away from the mid-range shot due to its disproportional output value, San Antonio has embraced it in a way like none other.
Now in Aldridge and DeRozan, the Spurs have two of the best mid-range guys in the NBA. Needless to say, the Spurs are going to be unique in the upcoming season.
