Cause of Marcus Paige's Shooting Slump Revealed

It has been four games since Marcus Paige dropped 30 points on Florida State which included hitting five three pointers. Since then, Paige's shot has completely left him and his confidence is beyond shaken. There have been many theories posited as to why Paige is struggling. Some have asked if he was injured again citing his struggles last season why dealing with plantar fasciitis. That doesn't seem to be the case since even injured last season, Paige shot the ball better than he is right now. It could simply be bad match-ups with UNC facing some taller perimeter defenders as was the case against Syracuse and NC State.
