NBA 2019-20: Top 5 mid-range scorers in the league right now

#4 Kyrie Irving

Kyrie Irving uses his skill to knock down from mid-range

Kyrie Irving is one of the most fearsome scorers in the league today. Widely acclaimed as the best dribbler in the league, Kyrie can dance his way to the rim and score, or use his skill to create space and pull up from mid-range with equal efficiency.

Even though he does not rely on his mid-range game heavily, he can still knock them down at will. For a player as skilled as Kyrie the mid-range game is not really significant, but it still gives him more options to score.

Just like we would expect, Kyrie is only attempting 2.3 shots per game from the mid-range land this season.

#3 CJ McCollum

McCollum is known for catching fire from mid-range

CJ McCollum is one of the game's most efficient scorers from mid-range. Even though he has the ability to get to the rim or shoot from long range, CJ likes to rely on his mid-range jumper, which on most occasions finds the net.

Last year, against the Denver Nuggets in Game 7 of the Western Conference Semifinals, CJ put on a show from mid-range and erupted for 37 points on 16-26 from two-point land - and most of his key buckets down the stretch came from mid-range. He was unstoppable, and with Jokic under the rim and wings taking away the three-point shot, it was his mid-range game that helped Portland reach their first Conference Finals in a while.

This 2019-20 NBA season, McCollum is leading the league in FGA from mid-range (15ft-19ft.) with 4.0 attempts per game on a high accuracy of 47.5%.
