@finleykuehl: “Golden State is lowkey where traditional point guards go to die BUT Nick Boyd got his foot in the door now and it’s all gonna be uphill from here- believe that”
@ajharrison1: “Can’t wait to watch @NicholaswBoyd shine in The League!”
@gamble_griffin3: “Warriors fans keep an eye on this name throughout summer league. Experienced guard who absolutely lit up top Big Ten teams all year. Supreme confidence and super fun to watch.”
Wisconsin Basketball: “Boyd is off to The Bay ✍️ Congrats Nick on joining the @warriors!”
Congrats Nick on joining the @warriors!
Because of his scoring ability, Boyd will be an extremely intriguing player to watch at NBA Summer League.
He could be a good addition to the Warriors on a two-way deal later in the year.
