Former North Carolina Tar Heel [autotag]Theo Pinson[/autotag] is back in the news giving hot takes on Tidal Leagues Run Your Race podcast.
In a snippet released earlier this week, Pinson appeared on a livestream where he delivered fans his top 10 for current small forwards in the NBA. The order had some surprises like any top 10 list plastered on social media.
The biggest surprise on Pinson’s list is Kevin Durant being ranked over Lebron James for the top spot. The other shock is that the list features no Tar Heels, rightfully so, but I did expect to see Harrison Barnes crack the list. Instead, one Duke star was featured, with Brandon Ingram getting the nod with a seventh-spot ranking.
Is Kevin Durant the best Small Forward in the NBA?
“I don’t know a person that can guard him.”

The list, even Heel-less, is respectful and features the correct names. I wonder if we will see a Tar Heel enter the discussion soon. The best chance is Brooklyn Nets Cam Johnson, whose new deal puts an extra layer on his role.
