Posted Jan 13, 2018
UNC's use of a smaller starting lineup featuring Joel Berry, Kenny Williams, Cameron Johnson, Pinson, and Luke Maye could have been a spark for Theo Pinson. This lineup doesn't feature a true big man, putting more pressure on the wing trio to pick up the rebounding slack. Pinson's role is important regardless, but this intensifies when UNC plays this smaller lineup.
