The Milwaukee Bucks have made multiple key offseason additions.
One of them is Jericho Sims, the big guy formerly of the New York Knicks.
And Sims, on a two-year contract, looks like he might be changing his shooting hand.
Sims shot righty for the Knicks, and now he's shooting lefty in offseason highlight clips.
Unless I am seeing things, Jericho Sims has changed which hand he shoots with. He’s now shooting left handed.

According to https://t.co/JROS0wJ6Si he’s only attempted 1 3 in his career and there’s no video of it. I can’t even pull up a free throw right now to compare the form pic.twitter.com/1N1QLamVzZ

There are a couple of informative layers here.
The first is old reporting that Sims used both hands in high school and mostly committed to his right hand in college.
The second is that Sims hurt his right hand last season and used only his left hand for a long time in workouts before the right recovered.
Sims has never been an outside shooter, having attempted only one 3-point shot in his NBA career.
Maybe that begins to change with the southpaw shooting stroke, which looks pretty sharp.
