Damn, I didn’t know Justise Winslow had this in him. Midrange jumpers? I ran the query “SELECT * FROM madebuckets WHERE shottype=’midrange jumper’ AND playerid = ‘JustWins’ ORDER BY date ASC” on my mental database of converted NBA shot attempts and didn’t get a single result. Now, said database isn’t a perfect of representation (it gets corrupted sometimes, how else would I explain the 50-foot skyhook made by Tyler Ennis?) of what happened in the NBA, but it’s close.
Anyway, even if I’m a little wrong, it’s still unprecented for Winslow to hit this many midrangers in a single game. Is there a designation for a player who plays defense and hits that kind of shot? Like 3-and-D but without the threes? There should be, and Winslow can be the first player to earn it.
