[QUOTE="ChiefIllini, post: 1503926, member: 588522"] It's effective if you are a) good at it, and b) can create an open shot to take it. I mean, I guess that's literally every other shot, but midrange jumpers get a bad rap because it's worth the same from 1 foot as it is from 18ft. There's such a push for guys to take either threes or layups that I think defenses sag off guys who start to drive, as they are trying to get into better position to defend a layup. Typically, this leaves guys a better look when they are at the elbow if they start/stop their drive quick enough. While I don't think a team should be reliant on them, if you can make them consistently, I don't have a problem with taking them, nor should anyone else. Leron Black had a great mid range shot, as did Malcolm. While I doubt BU has offensive sets centered around getting an open midrange look, if you can create it off the bounce and shoot it well, I doubt he's got much of an issue with taking it. [/QUOTE]
