Clay Byrd brings local-range shooting touch and bench scoring to UNCG
Clay Byrd’s profile at UNCG was that of a reliable perimeter guard who could space the floor, hit free throws, and provide steady bench scoring; in 2015-16 he averaged 5.5 points per game, shot 32.1% from three, and made 88.2% of his free throws, while ESPN lists him at 5.1 points, 0.9 rebounds, and 0.6 assists per game[8][3]. His value is less about volume and more about fit: he was a North Carolina recruit with a track record of contributing in stretches and bringing effort-based minutes, including early flashes of 6.3 points per game on the Spain trip as a freshman[6].
