Posted Apr 23, 2012
Marcus Paige has a very high basketball IQ and attacks opposing defenses weaknesses. He excels at finding the open seam in the defense and creating for himself or his teammates.

Paige will have an advantage that no freshman has had in a while: A starting spot and a ton of minutes right away. (Keeping It Heel)
