Marcus Paige expands offensive game to emulate past UNC stars
Posted Jan 15, 2016
Raymond Felton and Ty Lawson set examples for current UNC guard Marcus Paige to emulate. To achieve his goal, Paige is taking a personalized approach. During their one-on-one meeting after the 2014-15 season, UNC coach Roy Williams told Paige, a willing 3-point shooter, to work on penetrating more so he could earn more free-throw opportunities.
