UNC seeking leaders beyond Marcus Paige
Posted Jan 9, 2015
UNC forward Brice Johnson described both Marcus Paige and Desmond Hubert as the team’s vocal leaders. Johnson, mellow and laid back, said every now and then he’ll say something to try to jolt the team. Paige isn’t saying so, but the weight of the team is on his shoulders, and it’s affecting his shot at least insofar as teams ganging up on him.
