UNC guard looks to improve shooting % by switching shooting hand.

UNC confirms the @InsideCarolina thread about Nate Britt switching his shooting hand from lefty to righty

"Britt was solid in his debut campaign, posting averages of 5.1 points and 2.4 assists per game for North Carolina. But there was a significant issue that Britt wanted to address during the offseason: his shooting. Britt shot just 36.7% from the field and 25.0% from beyond the arc last season, numbers that he’ll need to improve in 2014-15 in order to receive similar (or more) minutes.

Apparently Britt’s taken a step not seen too often when it comes to players looking to improve their shot: after shooting predominantly with his left hand in 2013-14, Britt will be taking the majority of his shots with his right hand in 2014-15."

You know Neitzel was ambidextrous

and yet I don't recall him chucking up left handed 3 pointers.

You serious, Clark?

Only Ben Wallace should have done this and that's it.

Is it too late to get Russ Byrd back?

A player in the pros did this the past year. Tristian Thompson of the Cavs. Was getting too many shots block as a lefty so his switched his shooting hand.
FG% was 48.8 last year, 47.7 this year. FT's went from 60.3 to 69.8 this year.

You killed too many brain cells, dude.

Britt is a pretty good little player imo. He's a midget but I remember him making a lot of plays against MSU and he is quick
