North Carolina point guard Marcus Paige worked out for the Hawks on Thursday in advance of next week’s NBA Draft. Paige will work out for the Hornets on Friday.

Paige, 6-foot-2, averaged 12.6 points, 3.8 assists, 2.5 rebounds and 31.6 minutes in 34 games for North Carolina as a senior last season. He is a projected second-round pick.

The Hawks have three selections in the draft on June 23 with the 21st overall pick in the first round and the 44th and 54th overall picks in the second round.
