In basketball, not all shots are created equal.
Driving to the hoop and finishing at the rim is often more efficient than a mid-range jumper, while a corner three is a better percentage shot than a three at the top of the key.
But more than that, certain players love shooting from certain areas of the floor.
Typically, right-handed shooters prefer the left side of the court, as the motion of picking up the dribble to shoot is more natural — vice versa for lefties like junior guard Malik Morgan and senior forward Shavon Coleman.
“The motion is quicker, more natural and that helps guys be more accurate from that side of the court,” said LSU coach Johnny Jones.

“A lot of guys who are right-handed like shooting from the left side of the floor. Pull-ups are just easier from that side of the court.”

“A lot of guys who are right-handed like shooting from the left side of the floor … pull-ups are just easier from that side of the court.”
“My favorite spot is the top of the arc, I feel like I won’t miss from there … It’s angled to the right hand once you shoot you’re shooting directly at the rim, it’s kind of scientific, you know.”
“It feels more natural shooting [from the left block] … Going from [his hip] into my shooting motion is helps me get into the rhythm of shooting.”
“From the high post, I can drive, I can shoot or I can pass out of it … my range helps me drive to the rim, I can finish above the rim and little bumps don’t really affect me.”
