Marcus Paige Gets Aggressive

Posted Jan 12, 2016
Before the season started, Roy Williams asked his star point guard Marcus Paige to be more aggressive and not rely as much on the three point shot. “When we meet with all of our players in the spring and decide two or three things we want them to work on, I wanted Marcus to work on taking the ball to the basket and see if he could get to the free throw line more often,” Williams said.
