McDonald's Practice Highlights: Pinson gets the point

Posted Mar 31, 2014
Theo Pinson should fit in perfectly at North Carolina next season; not just because he's a talented wing who can score and defend multiple positions. Pinson will mesh nicely in Chapel Hill because he knows how to point. It was legendary former coach Dean Smith who invented the point; which basically means when you make a basket, you point to the player who threw the pass. Every time Pinson made a shot, he quickly whipped around and pointed to his teammate. (USA Today)
