  • Kevin Boyle Praises Anderson, Muhammad

    How would you like to coach a team that included Kyle Anderson, Shabazz Muhammad and a whole bunch of other future NBA players?

    That’s exactly the position Montverde (Fla.) coach Kevin Boyle is in this week as he leads Team USA into Saturday night’s Nike Hoop Summit game.

    In this video from Tim Brown of OregonLive.com, Boyle, the former Elizabeth (N.J.) St. Patrick coach, went out of his way to praise the work ethic and talent of Anderson, the 6-9 point guard signed with UCLA, and Muhammad, a 6-6 wing who is considering UCLA, Kentucky and Duke.

    “Obviously, Kyle Anderson from St. Anthony’s in Jersey City [is] just a terrific player,” Boyle said. “He really understands how to use his speed. He’s not super fast, but he’s super bright and really knows how to use angles on defense. Offensively, he’s versatile, he can play three or four positions.

    “Shabazz Muhammad, obviously, a big-time athlete, big-time scorer…[Those] guys should be really important in the game on Saturday night.”
