The 10 players hit the most in the middle distance last season: Durant s efficiency is terrifying, and the letters are improving significantly
1:32am, 12 August 2025Basketball
On August 11, after the arrival of the small ball era, it can be said that all teams are improving their three-point shooting, and some teams even gave up mid-range and started playing Magic. However, to be honest, the technology of mid-distance is still useful, especially in the playoffs. Look at Alexander last season, relying on mid-distance to punish his opponents. Speaking of this, let’s take a look at the 10 players who hit the most mid-distance last season to see how their output and efficiency are.
10th James
James now likes to do some back-playing at mid-range distance, and then turn back. When he feels smooth, James is quite accurate in this game, but most of the time his efficiency is very average. Last season, James hit a total of 218 mid-range shots, with a shooting percentage of only 43.6%. To be honest, this efficiency is better than shooting a few more three-pointers. After all, according to the theory of Magic Ball, James' three-point efficiency is better, and he has more three-point shots than mid-range shots.
Ninth Jaylen Green
Jeren Green was good at shooting mid-range and breakthroughs when he first entered the league. As a result, he was led by Silas to play magic ball for several years. Now Jaylen Green's mid-range distance is not as good as before. Although Uduka asked Jaylen Green to try his best to be himself, his mid-range efficiency is indeed eye-catching. Last season, a total of 218 mid-range shots were hit, with a shooting percentage of only 36.2%. There is a reason why the Rockets gave him up. There is no improvement in four years.
Banchero, the eighth group, has a very comprehensive style of playing. He has three-pointers, a ball-holding breakthrough and mid-range distance. He is a bit like Anthony. He was impressive in the playoffs. However, to be honest, his mid-range efficiency in last season was not very good. Last season, Banchero scored a total of 218 hits and hit a mid-range shooting percentage of 41.7%, which is lower than Jaylen Green, but there is a reason for his low efficiency. The team has no space and was deeply affected by injuries in the regular season.
7th Brunson
Brunson is one of the best kills in the middle distance in active service. After pick-and-roll, he is good at completing kills near the middle distance, and has the ability to make fouls. In this case, Brunson can easily kill near the middle distance. It is not without reason that he can become one of the best ball-holding cores in active service. Brunson hit 227 mid-range shots last season, with a shooting percentage of 45%, which is a lovely efficiency and output.
The sixth Jamalmur
Murray is also very good at pulling out mid-range after pick-and-roll. Murray has such output in mid-range. To be honest, I have to thank Jokic. Teacher Yo's high-quality cover wall also allows Murray to get a chance to take action easily. His shooting space is much larger than most players in the same position. Last season, Murray hit a total of 278 mid-range shots, with a shooting percentage of 45%. It is surprising that he has not been selected as an All-Star in his career so far.
The fifth Antetokounmpo
The letters have started to develop long distances in the past two seasons. Although the three-pointers have not improved much, the mid-range is indeed more prominent than before. Although it is slower, it is very efficient. The opponent dares not get too close, for fear that he will take it in one step. Antetokounmpo scored a total of 283 mid-range shots last season, with a shooting percentage of 44.2%. As he grew older, Zeta realized that he could not play by talent alone, and it was time to develop mid-range shots.
Fourth Durant
Durant has always been one of the best middle-distance masters in the league. His mid-distance emergency stop jump shot, and sometimes both players blocked it without any effect. It is precisely because his mid-distance is too outstanding that Durant became the player with the highest singles efficiency in the league last season. Last season, Durant scored 286 mid-distance shots, with a shooting percentage of 53.1%. Although he entered the end of his peak, as long as he is physically healthy, he is still a big threat to the offensive end.
Third Booker
Book also likes to shoot mid-range. Although as a point guard in the past two years, his shots have been reduced, his mid-range killing is still very stable. It can be said that mid-range is his biggest killer move. Booker hit 325 mid-range draws last season, with a shooting percentage of 51.7%. Although Durant is the king of mid-range in the active league, I think Alexander and Booker have the opportunity to replace him in the future.
Second Alexander
Alexander not only commits fouls, but his middle distance is also very stable. Alexander also relies on his unsolvable middle distance to make him the top scorer in the league. But if he wants to go further and become a scorer at the peak KD level, I think Alexander should make his three-pointer more efficient. His mid-range distance is already excellent enough, with a total of 348 mid-range shots, with a shooting percentage of up to 59%.
No. 1 DeRozan
DeRozan is a middle distance master. He is really obsessed with middle distance. After all, he has been watching the videos of Jordan and Kobe. Although he will not be targeted because there are no three-pointers, DeRozan still has good mid-range efficiency and output when targeted. Although the efficiency cannot be compared with KD, it is also very outstanding. He hit a total of 640 three-pointers last season, with a shooting percentage of 45.8%.
