UNC Basketball: Theo Pinson named G-League Player of the Week

Long Island Nets shooting guard Theo Pinson has been named G-League Player of the Week following three performances last week that saw him average 21 points, 10 rebounds, 6.7 assists, and 1.7 steals in 36.5 minutes per game. He shot 23-for-50 (46 percent) from the floor, and 9-for-21 from three-point range.

In a 117-110 victory over the Wisconsin Herd last Tuesday, Pinson scored a game-high 32 points on 12-of-19 shooting from the floor, and 4-of-7 from long-range. He pulled down nine rebounds and dished out three assists in 36 minutes of play. He followed that up with a 16-point, 12-rebound performance against the Windy City Bulls three days later.
