It is a huge credit to the season that Theo Pinson had for the Tar Heels this year that I would have almost certainly bet any amount of money that I’d be writing this article about Joel Berry II. Take nothing away from Berry, because he was great. He was Tar Heel Blog’s runner-up for the award. However, the voting wasn’t particularly close.
Theo Pinson did literally everything for UNC this season. He played point guard when Berry needed a break, but he also guarded all-world center Marvin Bagley incredibly well. That win against Duke at home?
