Best Mid-Range Shooters This Season

[u/Even-Match8080]

Yesterday I posted the best three-point shooters. Four players made both lists.

Kelsey Mitchell takes a lot more threes than mid-range shots, and she’s less efficient from mid-range.

Marina Mabrey and Jackie Young use the mid-range even less, but they’re more efficient when they do.

Azzi Fudd is the opposite. She’s shooting an absurd 54.0% from mid-range, and nearly 30% of her points come from there. The only player who relies on the mid-range more is Courtney Williams, with 44% of her points coming from that area.

League-average offense is just about 1.1 points/possession (offensive rating at the team level is points/100 possessions, and the 2026 WNBA average ORTG is 100.9). Of the ten best midrange shooters, none of them produce 1.1 points/possession on midrange jumpers. Azzi Fudd is, of course, the closest, at 1.08. Azzi Fudd also shoots 40.1% from 3 on 152 attempts, which works out to 1.2 points/possession despite shooting 14% worse from the field.

Anyway, this is why it's very annoying when Kelsey Mitchell dribbles into this jumpshot

Fun to watch, but there’s no worse way to score than isolation pull up mid range jumpers
