Hubert Davis: ‘Marcus Paige is an NBA player’
Posted Jun 23, 2016
“Marcus Paige is an NBA player,” Tar Heel assistant Hubert Davis said. “He’s a pro. It would be a mistake if nobody picks him tonight. If nobody does, somebody is going to pick him up right after the draft.” Davis envisions Paige enjoying a long career. “Marcus is going to have a 10-plus year career because, one, he can play."
