UNC position series: Point guard

Posted Oct 22, 2013
Marcus Paige, who was just the eighth point guard in school history to start his first game as a freshman, came on strong at the end of last season. During the final 11 games including the postseason, Paige improved his shooting from the floor to 42.5 percent -- including 44.5 from behind the arc – and also averaged 3.5 assists. Roy Williams expects to see that version of Paige when this season begins. (ESPN.com)
