The Midrange Theory: Basketball’s Evolution in the Age of Analytics is a nonfiction basketball analysis book by Seth Partnow, an NBA analyst and former front office researcher. Rather than presenting a conventional history of the sport, it examines how analytics has changed the way basketball is evaluated, coached, and understood. The book uses the modern NBA as its main case study, with particular attention to shot selection, the value of the midrange area, roster construction, playoff performance, and the limits of simple box score interpretation. Partnow does not argue that numbers replace basketball judgment; instead, he shows how statistical thinking can sharpen it when paired with game context. This makes the book both a practical guide to the logic of analytics and a critique of the overconfident ways analytics is sometimes applied. It is best understood as an informed explanation of how data has reshaped contemporary basketball conversation and decision-making.
