At its core, the goal of any basketball team is relatively simple: take and make good shots while preventing the opponent from doing the same. But what is a good shot? Are all good shots created equally? And how might one identify players who are more or less likely to make and prevent those shots in the first place?The concept of basketball analytics, for lack of a better term, has been lauded, derided, and misunderstood. The incorporation of more data into NBA decisionmaking has been creditedor blamedfor everything from the death of the traditional center to the proliferation of threepoint shooting to the alleged abandonment of the area of the court known as the midrange. What is beyond doubt is that understanding its methods has never been more important to watching and appreciating the NBA.In The Midrange Theory, Seth Partnow, NBA analyst for The Athletic and former Director of Basketball Research for the Milwaukee Bucks, explains how numbers have affected the modern NBA game, and how those numbers seek not to solve the game of basketball but instead urge us toward thinking about it in new ways.
