NBA 2017-18: Top 5 Teams in Mid-Range Scoring

#2 New York Knicks

#3 Tim Hardaway Jr., #6 Kristaps Porzingis and #11 Frank Ntilikina

Stats: Points percentage(2 points, Mid-range) - 17.4

The Knicks attempted 1,850 Mid-range shots in comparison to 1,914 3-point attempts last season. This made their three-to-mid-range ratio at 1.03, which was the lowest in the league.

To put the above-mentioned statistic into perspective, Last season was the first in which every single team attempted more shots from 3-point range than they did from mid-range.

The Knicks were actually a decent shooting team last season(ranking 12th in field goal percentage at 46.4 percent), but because of their flop show from the 3-point land, they ranked 24th in effective field goal percentage

Much of the credit goes to Trey Burke whose jump shot has looked smooth since he signed his contract with the Knicks, and has a 2-point conversion rate of a sliver above 55%. During March of last season, he was shooting 75-of-148(50.7 percent) on his dribble jumpers and was the most accurate across the league (minimum: 100 possessions) during that period in time.
