Ah, Lance Stephenson. The best show in town. Lance is one of the most entertaining players on the Indiana Pacers to watch on a night to night basis for his energy, antics, and elite mid-range scoring.
Wait, what?
Stephenson has found some new life in the midrange. While the league zigs, Lance is zagging. Teams are letting him shoot mid-rangers, largely because it is considered a statistically bad shot.
Lance doesn’t care.
He’s letting them fly, and he’s dropping them in. He is second to Darren Collison amongst rotation guards on Indiana in shooting percentage from 10-16 feet, knocking down 50 percent of them, and he is first on the team amongst guards when shooting from 16 feet to the three-point line, canning 44 percent of these shots.
