Daily Word: Marcus Paige in a slump?

Posted Dec 16, 2014
Marcus Paige's numbers are way down this season at North Carolina. Why? C.L. Brown: Paige isn't playing off the ball as much as he did last season and as a result, I think he still struggles with balancing when to hunt for his shot and when to distribute. Last season, opponents also had to respect Leslie McDonald from outside. Now defenses have locked in on him as UNC's only true shooting threat. (ESPN.com)
