In an exclusive interview with Adam Zagoria, legendary high school coach Kevin Boyle said he thinks his two most accomplished charges, Kyrie Irving and Ben Simmons, will work well once Simmons takes the court in Brooklyn.
“Well, one I’m just happy to see Ben’s situation get resolved,” Boyle told Zagoria Thursday following the Nets blockbuster trade. “I’m happy for him that his situation’s resolved and he can get back on the court and playing. I think it will be good for him in many ways.”
Specifically, Boyle thought the Nets are a “good fit” for Simmons and that being surrounded by good shooters like Irving and teammate Seth Curry will help with the fit.
