50.5% mid-range shooter and good for #1 in the league (with a minimum of 50 shots from mid-range)

He's 48.1% from mid range on the year (38-for-79). Source: NBA.com

Still impressive so far, especially considering he has attempted the third most mid range jumpers in the league. He won't maintain this level of consistency, but for now it has unlocked a different beast offensively. That's almost into Embiid and KD territory of efficiency/volume from mid.

DeRozan dominating from mid. Man is shooting 50% on an absurd 157 attempts so far.


FYI - if you were wondering, Tatum is 33.3% from mid and has attempted the 13th most mid range shots this season.

Embiid territory? Sorry I don't see him on any list

Yeah Tatum is not a good mid range shooter, and nobody has ever claimed he is. But who cares. Tatum is lethal from 3 and the ft line, unlike Giannis. And he actually plays, unlike Embiid. And he actually has an all round game, unlike KD

And he’s the best player in the east now

We can remove the obvious best player in the East, Embiid, since he's not playing right now.

With that said... Tatum isn't better than Giannis lol

And how does KD not have an all-around game??? Wtf

God damn you are annoying asf

Tatum def better. Giannis so so easily exposed as a player. Too 1 dimensional. Holds his team back because he can’t shoot from outside or from the FT line. Any good team is going to expose his weaknesses. He’s a better rebounder and interior defender than Tatum. And seemingly on a bit of a lucky streak from the mid range. Cool. Give me the player who isn’t a one trick pony

KD can shoot like a fucking menace scorer and an “okay” defense (it was a lot better). He’s nothing much of running plays, or passing the rock, again hes okay at it. But that’s about it. Not a leader at all, been found out the last few playoffs as a pretty meh post season player. King of being swept. Hasn’t been close to Tatum for a few years now, but it’s only just becoming obvious to the casuals (like yourself)

Embiid is better when he’s on the floor, which he never is, so can’t really count him. Best ability is availability

26 FTA but a total of 31 points

Come on Giannis

osu got destroyed by maryland...

really not a big fan of college basketball, idk why.

Giannis is better than Tatum. Always has been, always will be. Dominates both ends of the floor. MVP and DPOY. Tatum has never even been on a single All-Defense team let alone be in DPOY convos rofl. This isn't really a discussion, is it?

And KD? The guy who Tatum watched from the bench get him a gold medal in the summer? The guy who, at his old ripe age is still a far more efficient scorer? Imagine if all of these guys, like him and LeBron and Tatum, all played on the same team? Who would be the dawgs and leaders and who would play like ass and be a role player? Oh wait..we already got to see that and Tatum wasn't more than a beta who looked weak next to KD and LeBron.
