For all of his accomplishments, both on the court and off, Marcus Paige is one of the most beloved Tar Heels in North Carolina basketball history.
His decorated career at North Carolina is highlighted by an All-American sophomore season and an appearance in the 2016 National Championship game as a senior. His final shot as a collegiate, a three-pointer that tied the title game with 4.7 seconds left, is one that won’t soon be forgotten.
His short time in the pros, though, hasn’t come quite as easy or with as much success.
Paige was selected by the Brooklyn Nets with the 55th overall pick in the 2016 NBA Draft.
