Concerned about UNC's backcourt size with Elliot Cadeau / RJ Davis? | Marcus Paige's influence

North Carolina projects to have something of an undersized starting backcourt with RJ Davis (6’0) and Elliot Cadeau (6’2). What can Hubert Davis and the coaching staff do to work at overcoming that potential challenge?

How will Marcus Paige’s presence help this backcourt?

On Wednesday North Carolina officially announced the signing of all four incoming transfers (Paxson Wojcik, Jae’lyn Withers, Cormac Ryan, Harrison Ingram) along with Elliot Cadeau.

The football team also announced the times / tv schedule for the first three games of the 2023 season:

South Carolina | 7:30ET | ABC | 9/2
Appalachian St. | 5:15ET | ACCN | 9/9
Minnesota | 3:30 | ESPN or ESPN2 | 9/16

UofL had a small backcourt in 2013. I think defensive pressure and game pace will be key! I'm excited either way!!

Darren Cox says:

Just by who he picked up in the transfer portal. It look like he is changing things. So why wouldn't he change to make it better for him with this team. I really don't know if the way you are talking about defending will work. But it do sound good to me. And maybe Hubert will change to that Orifina even better defense. I believe in hubert. He only been coaching two years. Give them a chance.

Jaxon Heath says:

We have 2 pass first PG’s now bc Seth Trimble is a true PG but not as gifted a passer but I do think he is the best perimeter defender on the roster

The Sports Fellowship says:

They will be fine

The Nintenerd says:

If we ever needed to go big then we have Jalen Washington who likely can play the 4 at the same time as Mando. While size is a genuine concern, I think our concern right now needs to be on what we have and how to utilize it best rather than focusing on different matchups.

James Pruett says:

One thing you get tho is speed

Gary Richardson says:

Unc back to back final four team was small. The team that lost the chip to nova was small. I'm always lost with this guy. The only time that should matter is when they play half court teams. Why do you think he signed Pascoe, and all these long guys . Hubert ain't just building this team for this year. He already knows what kind of guards he want so he builds around them
Ty, ginyard green, tyler , Thompson played Saint Mary's in a tournament years ago and as a team they were short. Rj will get caught at times stuck on somebody, but this teams versatility and length is bonkers I think they will be alright@

Mrdoowoper67 says:

With Elliot leaving next year, will that jeopardize Ian coming next year?

Cory Vice says:

People forgot uconn won a championship.With a small back court with kemba

Jesse McCord says:

In terms of size, the projected starting lineup next season is very similar to the '05 Illinois team that was 37-1 before losing to the Heels in the NC game. And that team didn't have a guy like Bacot at center.

Derrick Nipper says:

Who would turn down a Paige/berry backcourt? What are their heights?

Gregory Lunsford says:

Yes a court will be smaller but at the same time much better than last year's
