PG Marcus Paige on top in a down year

Posted Aug 15, 2011
Top prospects: Marcus Paige (Marion, Iowa/Linn-Mar) 6-foot-1, 160 pounds, College: North Carolina - Paige is a playmaker who excels in transition or in the half-court set and his ability to push the ball with pace will fit well with North Carolina's fast break. Paige has the speed and quickness to penetrate, drive, draw and kick and his passes are almost always on the money. He also is a scoring threat with range to the arc. He uses great touch and body control on left-handed pull-up jumpers and floaters. Paige also makes good decisions under stress and can create when the set play breaks down. (ESPN.com)
