Booker shoots 38% from mid-range at high volume. For context, league average mid-range efficiency is 40% for the top-15 volume mid-range shooters. He's below the efficient threshold but 2% below — at a volume that creates spacing benefits that don't show in his personal shot quality number. When Booker pulls up from 18 feet, Beal draws his defender off the three-point line to provide help, and that movement creates a Phoenix plus-6 point swing per possession even when Booker misses. Isolating his shot quality without the spacing effect it creates is exactly the wrong way to evaluate his mid-range volume.
