He was the 1 last year when he had the same problems.
Why is everyone sooo revisionist.
Its not like he went from the 1 to the 2 and he dropped off the map.
He went from.the 1 to the 1 and dropped off then 1 to the 2 and continued his drop.
I mean, you could have tons more theories which make more sense based on the facts than him moving to the 2.
For example, saying Joel Berry came to campus and dogged Paige in practice and broke his confidence causing him to regress would make more sense with the facts than him moving to the 2.
Or he never recovered from his injury. Or he learned bad shot mechanics while injured.
Or he was a 1 season wonder.
Or etc etc.
Every reason I listed fits more with the stats which are facts than him moving to the 2.
Saying he moved to the 2 is changing the narrative to make an excuse.
You think they don't ever have him run the 1 in practice? Obviously he isn't steph curry from the 1 in practice or the change would have happened a long time ago.
Your position doesn't change your shooting mechanics, decisions, and ability to score on the drive.
You are correct, it could be any of those things. So why not ask MP what he thinks?
Oh wait- here's a quote from the man himself.
“Today was the first day all year where I played significant minutes at the point guard,” Paige said. “Our coaches talked about shuffling it to where I think when Nate is in the game, I’m the point guard – just have the ball in my hands to help me feel more comfortable.”
Paige said playing more point guard “helped me out a lot.”
It's from the rag in Rawlee, so I'm not going to link it- just google Marcus Paige Point Guard and it's #2 on the list.
