When I watched his high school games he ran the point and now on the international team he is running the point. Im not sure where the narrative that he is not a pg is coming from. IMO he is only a pg. He passes the ball very well.. Good vision.BrooklynRed post=436133 said:

The Puerto Rico game I saw he definitely looked good enough to be a backup point guard.
That said, we'd be screwed if Posh gets injured. But I'm confident Pinzon can play back there in short spurts, especially with the guys we'll have surrounding him.
Getting minutes at PG can only help him (and us) in the future, when I envision three smooth ball handlers with nice court vision in the game at the same time.

think Canada has a solid team- should be a good litmus test to see what he's got... our friend Samuel of Seton Hall is part of the squad as well as Primo from Bama.
For those that wanted to see a preview of Pinzon vs BE comp.... this is as good a preview as any.

looks like it will a tough one for PR today... as expected. Tough start for Raf... missed a couple pull up/fade-away mid range Js as well as a wide open layup.
Good news- his handle looks respectable against some solid D, - for what he will probably be asked to contribute (

last comment- still excited about Pinzon..... but #4 on Canada... Elijah Fischer...wow
Real nice drive and finish attempt in traffic that just didn’t drop. Nice pass to open guy on the baseline to probably finish his night. Down big and just got taken out.
Im really excited about Pinzon but I said before if he gives us what Wusu was able to give us, from an overall perspective, I think we should be ecstatic. I expect him to be a little less than that, but do think CMA will give him every chance to prove he can play and perhaps steal minutes from the 3 transfer guards as the year goes on. Probably starts as backup at the point and he’s definitely a playmaker with a real feel. Might still be more of a point forward early in college career though imo. Doesn’t really matter, he’ll have the ball in his hands regardless.
My bet is it’s another local hit for CMA.

seems like a skilled baller.
in the latvia game, really liked that he had confidence in the final minutes. took and made, big shots.
hope we get 3 years from him.

Of the new people coming in, who will be the dependable shooters?
