North Carolina’s star guard Marcus Paige will be out three to four weeks, due to fracturing a finger on his right hand. On the bright side, it is not his shooting hand since Paige is left-handed. However, his right hand is necessary obviously for other things such as dribbling, passing, playing defense and rebounding. There are psychological obstacles for Paige to overcome as well, because the pressure is on the preseason No. 1 ranked Tar Heels to win the championship.
There is never anything good about an injury to a player. With that being said, Paige’s injury gives another player the opportunity to become a leader and strut their stuff.
