The data from the first half of 2025-26 tells a clear story: three-point attempt rate continues to climb but three-point percentage has dropped 1.4 points league-wide compared to the 5-year average. Defenses have specifically adapted with drop coverage schemes that concede the midrange to protect the arc. Shooters who relied on catch-and-shoot from corner positions are finding those positions more contested than ever. The innovation frontier has moved to the long two — specifically the 18-22 foot pull-up jumper that the corner-three defensive shift creates as a concession. The analytics community will be recommending mid-range shots again within three years. Mark this post.
