Theo Pinson’s NBA shot depends on shooting

Posted Jun 8, 2018
Theo Pinson is fighting to earn a job in the NBA. The Greensboro native and former North Carolina swingman was a good collegiate defender, but isn’t an elite scorer or shooter – critical traits in the NBA. Pinson knows his weakness, and is trying to improve it. “I didn’t shoot the ball particularly well in college,” he said Saturday at the Charlotte Hornets workout. (Charlotte Post)
