It’s this simple 👇🏾

People act so obtuse with this mid-range stuff. Coaches want their stars and their lead creators to be able to score at ALL levels. But they don’t want them or their offensive system creating mid-range looks for the “others”. Having a spread floor helps the star be even more efficient at scoring at all 3 levels and/or makes defenses pay for overplaying to stop the star. I read so many people acting like NBA and college coaches don’t want ANYONE shooting mid-range shots. No, they don’t want the others that can’t create doing that. If you’re gonna be a spot up guy, they prefer you spread the floor and shoot the 3. And of course if you’re developing a HS player that you want to play at the next level, you want them to be great at everything. But when they get to the next level, only the elite of them will be asked to be a 3 level guy. If they’re not the elite type or someone with NBA potential, they’ll be expected to “dumb down” their game because teams have hierarchies and schemes that make the most sense for winning. Same thing happens to college players that make it to the pros. You’re either an elite enough creator to be given the responsibility to score at all 3 levels or you’re put into a role.
