Theo Pinson praises Long Island experience and Nets strategy with two-way contract

Theo Pinson may be most known around the NBA for his sideline dancing with the Nets bench last season, or the inventor of “The Swim” ...

Other than his dancing ... and swimming, Pinson has proven to be the Nets best two-way player since the NBA instituted the roster addition in 2017. And his experience bodes well for the Nets and their lone two-way so far, Henry Ellenson.

Long Island, he said, did a “great job” getting him “ready to play” in the NBA whenever he got the chance.

The Nets wanted Pinson so bad a year ago June that before the second round of the draft ended, they contacted his agent and told him they wanted the North Carolina product on their summer league team and maybe their G League roster.
