    i saw the first picture the other day (yesterday?) and i thought the same thing. im pretty sure he is a lefty. sometimes cameras show things in reverse so in the first pic he might actually be shooting with his left, but the camera makes it look like the right, kinda like a mirror. i could be completely wrong, but thats my guess.

    He's left handed, but he's very good with his right hand, he usually does his floaters and stuff with his right hand, from the limited action I've seen of him at OSU.

    He is a left hander, and the majority of shots are performed left handed. He is quite versatile and obviously layups and close range shots he can finish with either. I thought the pic may be a mirror image too apart from the jersey etc and the way he is holding the ball. In the left handed shot his "guide hand" is right and centered and really guiding the ball, in the right handed pic it is just "there".

    Hmm that's interesting. Acie Law is a player who's very good with both hands. He actually turned left handed in his teens because of injuries to his right hand.

    I wasn't sure if that pic was of Conley at first because he's wearing #11. So the important question here is, why doesn't anybody on the Grizz wear #1? Warrick came in and changed to 21, now Conley changes to 11.

    Anyway, yes, Conley, Jr. is ambidextrous. A lot of point guards are these days, like Drew Neitzel.
