Theo Pinson the latest in long line of key 'glue guys' at UNC

Posted Jan 18, 2018
Theo Pinson is not a particularly good shooter. He's the only UNC starter who doesn't score in double figures, and he has the highest turnover rate on the team. But those numbers are deceiving, because Pinson is a glue guy. He's a player that will do whatever the team requires, putting the team before his own statistics, to earn wins, and he has joined a prestigious lineage. (WRAL Sports Fan)
