Boston Celtics head coach Joe Mazzulla doesn't want people pitting Payton Pritchard and Anfernee Simons against each other.
When the Boston Celtics traded Jrue Holiday for Anfernee Simons this summer, questions immediately flooded in regarding who would be the starting point guard alongside Derrick White. At Media Day, head coach Joe Mazzulla was asked about both in the same question, but he wasn’t a fan of the two guards being lumped together:
“I see what you did there, build that correlation between Payton and Anfernee, which I'm sure you’ll try to do the entire season,” Mazzulla said, firing back at the reporter.
