Advanced stats and analytics have changed the game of basketball in a myriad of ways as coaches try to get the best out of their team’s talent and ultimately make for the most efficient basketball on either side of the court.

Post ups? Seldom used, and only in high usage by the best of the best.
Difficult midrange twos? Only in a desperation late clock scenario, and even then it’s not usually the most advantageous look.
