UNC Basketball Preseason Preview: Justin Pierce

Posted Sep 23, 2019
More of a slasher than low-post presence or a ball-handling playmaker, Justin Pierce either scores at the rim or behind the arc. This is confirmed by his scoring splits last year. Last season 83.2% of his shot attempts were at the rim (42.5%) or behind the arc (40.7%). Of those attempts, he had a success rate of 63.2% at the rim and 32.5% from three. (Tar Heel Blog)
