I was curious about whether NBA players could benefit from having left-handed players, similar to how soccer/football wingers tend to favour one-side of the pitch. Eg, left-backs tend to be left-footed and right-backs tend to be right footed. I was interested in looking into whether having a left-handed shooter in the left-corner has a higher probability of making a 3 etc.

    Try Google Scholar. There is academic research on this subject.

    Left handed players, across almost all sports, are statistically better on average because others typically have to modify their defence to defend them.

    Interesting stuff.
