Im surprised you think Shaka is a fool

I didn't say that.  I was talking about the NBA game but do think there's no reason to never take a mid-ramge J if it's wide open.  Assuming you are capable.  The guys I listed all take some of those shots and it elevates their game.

Gobert is offensively inept. Scared when he gets the ball. And cant guard Jokic.

They might as well just throw in Garza

Stick with Reid?

Jokic not only has superb footwork, he knows how to use his weight to dislodge his defender.  He's deceptively quick for his size.  He's listed at 284 lbs but I'm guessing he's closer to 305 lbs. He's a very large individual.

Had 3 fouls

That first half was every wolves player panic driving for wild shots, wild offensive fouls and wild turn overs.

Kinda wild they are only down 6 at half and Ant was poor

Both he and Murray are struggling.  I guess Finch moved Rudy to the help defender role.

Wow.  That was freaking sick by da Joker.

If you're talking just the NBA then my 99.5% was inaccurate. I was talking NBA, college, international, g-league, etc. Even limiting it to the NBA (the best players in the world), it's still a minority of players who can use the mid-range effectively. Most would be better driving to the hoop or working to get a better shot. A select few are good enough in the mid-range that an open long two may as well be a layup.

There's a reason those shots are wide open.
