A Pinnock By Any Other Name…: George Washington junior guard J. R. Pinnock will be changing his name back to his birth name of Danilo. Pinnock, whose moniker J.R. was used instead of the proper abbreviation of “Junior,” is honoring his father’s request to go by his given name, Danilo Pinnock, Jr. According to a GW news release, the J.R. nickname came about because of his “Junior” status – his father is Danilo Pinnock, Sr. Pinnock has a two-year old son, named Trey, a common nickname for the third generation. Pinnock was the Colonials’ second-leading scorer last season, averaging 13.4 points per contest.
