Roy Williams on Theo Pinson's progress and starting

Posted Jan 21, 2017
Theo Pinson "hasn't told me yet by his play that he is going to replace anybody," Roy Williams said. In other words, Pinson hasn't performed or practiced in a way that tells Williams that he is ready to be a starter. "Right now we are just trying to get him back involved in the action. It was a long time --- 12 weeks without playing. He has only played three or four games." (Carolina Blue)
