I think it is, for the analytics guys. At the rim or 3s. Everything in between is, broadly speaking, mid-range and to be mostly avoided.

that's the problem. you have to be a god in that area to make the shot worthwhile on a regular basis. and the reality is that luol WASN'T a god in that area except for his solid efficiency season at age 21 or whatever. he then regressed as he attempted to add the 3 ball to his game. mid-range by season:
36.6
37.0
43.3
41.5
38.5
40.0
38.8
33.9
35.3
38.9
40.3
34.4
24.0 (first year w/ lakers)

The league last year shot 66% at the rim, 40% from 3 to 10 feet, 41% from 10 to 16, 40% from 16 to the 3 point line, and 36% on 3s. There's nothing special about getting in the paint. On average, an 8 footer isn't a very good shot, just as with (say) a 20 footer.

I'm really surprised he hasn't tried to develop a counter off that move because teams have clearly scouted it and are playing him in anticipation. I've been thinking he needs a spin move or euro step counter (coming back to his right when driving left) since late last season. Lebron has both those in his arsenal and obviously it helps to be a complete tank of a guy that guys bounce off but Lauri should watch some clips of how Lebron uses those off his dribble drive.
