I don't understand why and how has this happened? This is a huge huge difference. Is it reality or a joke?
Analytics. NBA values high percentage 2 pointers and 3 pointers now. Whereas before mid range 2 pointers were a big part of a lot of elite scorers games.
I wonder if the pendulum will swing back a bit now as teams will just seek to guard the basket and the 3 point line leaving elite shooters with higher percentage open shots in the mid range.

Ahh! That's the reason...
