Luka midrange game?

[hakeemfan]

People should go back to the scouting reports or watch some of his older games in spain. He was a good midrange shooter but with the transition to the NBA he made adjustments to his game and abandoned it in favor of 3s, layups and floaters. Not a question about him being able to shoot it.
Him taking less midrange shots is part of the reason why he is more efficient this year. He reduced the volume even more compared to last year.

That’s why asked for some highlights. I did not see much. 

Taking less mid range and more step back 3s which he shot poorly in Europe and here is not a way to increase efficiency. 

For those saying that shot is dead tell that to Kawhi and Bron. If this is a conscious decision on Luka’s part then someone is not sitting down with him and showing him his poor 3 pt percentages.

Luka shooting 31.5% from 3 is more efficient than Kawhi shooting 43.7% from midrange. LBJ is shooting 36% from midrange. Not really sure how he entered the conversation.
I don´t think Luka would benefit from a higher midrange volume. Makes more sense to further improve his body and get in a shape that allows him to attack the rim for 30+ min all season long.
There obviously is a time and place for midrange shots but it shouldn´t be a focal point. For example down 1 with 10s to go. Take the highest percentage shot possible.

Sorry but this kind of poor reasoning will mean more seasons wasted where Luka struggles in the clutch. 

No one is asking him to abandon the 3. Kawhi and Bron are well rounded scorers.  Do they not take 3 pt shots?  

Getting a bit more sculpted is always a good thing. However even Bron doesn’t get the same calls in the clutch. If Luka wants to take his game to the next level he has to focus on a mid range game.
