The challenge win % is higher that first portion of the game, but likely not enough to risk it and potentially lose it for high leverage situations.

Modern analytics say the midrange shot is dying, and Dayton's shot diet reflects it.
In 2025-26, only 14.7% of the Flyers' shots were midrange (D1 avg: 22.8%), #332 of 361.
Is the midrange a bad shot, or should Dayton take more of them this season? 👇
