Imo the best midrange scorers in the NBA are Luka, embiid, d book, KD, can argue jokic, Kyrie, sga, jaleen brunson. I also noticed that if you're an elite mid range scorer, you're usually a great playoff scorer. Edit: remove Luka and jaleen brunson. The rest are actually truly elite from mid range.

Midrange scoring is resillient scoring since playoff defenses often organically give up that shot. And even if they don't, efficient midrange scorers usually are comfortable with shots with a higher degree of difficulty without having a huge dip to their efficiency.
