Efficient, physical frontcourt glue for UNCG
In the 2025-26 season, Valentino Pinedo has emerged as a reliable two-way forward for UNCG, averaging 7.3 points on 60.8% shooting with 4.9 rebounds in 26.4 minutes while starting 28 of 32 games. He’s a strong fit if your team wants a big-bodied, efficient finisher who can rebound, make simple reads, and bring steady interior presence; he also flashed double-double upside with a 14-point, 10-rebound game against Wofford in January 2026. The profile screams dependable, physical, low-drama production rather than flashy shot-creating—exactly the kind of rugged frontcourt piece coaches trust.
