Jake stop taking the midrange jumper please.

shooting a basketball from the area called the 'lane' is not a midrange jumper.  shooting from an area between what is called the 'lane' and the 'arc' is considered a midrange jumper.  shotting the ball from an area outside what is called the 'arc' is worth 3 points.

What is considered a lay-up?

So, a 14 foot jumper in the paint is not midrange, but one out of the paint is?

Nicname is of the opinion that the college 3 should be the same as the NBA 3.  Making the mid-range jumper valuable in the college game while better preparing players for the NBA game.

The midrange jumper off the dribble is still valuable in the college game.

how valuable are shots behind the 3pt arc?

If Jake was giving up a wide open 3 to take mid-range shots, that would be one thing.  But as expected, teams are guarding Pullen tight, so he's got to have other options.  Teams are also well aware of his ability to drive to the rim, so they usually have help available at the rim.  That leaves mid-range jump shots, which he has also shown an ability to hit.  Now, if teams have to step out and guard Pullen on the 12-15 feet jump shot, post players or other teammates are going to be open.  All of this fits together IMHO, making jump shots of the dribble a good option in our offense.

have seen him pass up too many open 3s.  hopefully it's just an attempt to get other players involved when the opponent is weak and it's early in the season.

Remember when Denis would get his defender airborne and then dive into him taking a wild three but never get called for an offensive fould because of his adorableness?  Jake copied that amazing move a couple times last year but seems to have abandoned it now that his latin friend has taken his talents to Jerusalem.

Denis is worshiped so much by his new community that they have asked him to lay in the manger for their live nativity scene.

Congrats to Jake on becoming K-State's 2nd best career 3-point shooter, behind only Laurie Koehn.
