Ten thoughts and observations from UNC's basketball practice

Posted Oct 19, 2012
I love freshman point guard Marcus Paige. He's not Kendall Marshall in terms of advancing the ball and getting everyone on the court open looks, but Paige is a true point guard who makes quality decisions -- and the major advantage he has over Marshall is that he can really shoot the ball. The downside? He's only 157 pounds and will have difficulty absorbing contact and finishing in the lane. (CBS Sports)
