Competitive 2 way guard who combines playmaking and defensive activity. Pinkston will use shot fakes or jap steps to go into attacking sequence vs tight closeouts. Can get downhill off dribble penetration and finish through traffic or draw help before delivering drop offs to teammates. Pinkston understands spacing concepts to maintain 3 point gravity while creating driving lanes for others. Will pressure the ball beyond half court at times defensively and force tough perimeter shots in 0 gap pressure.

Pinkston is a 2029 kid on DreamChasers 16u that played up. I love his ability as an on-ball defender keep his opponent in front. Caps that off with some solid shooting abilities on the perimeter. Showing he can score off the catch or the dribble.
