Falk: Coach Stevens Influenced Turner Deal

Having an opportunity to prove himself (Evan Turner) and gain that much-needed faith of the head coach was among the factors Turner’s camp weighed in deciding to sign with Boston.

Said Falk: “(Celtics Coach) Brad (Stevens), being a year removed from college, that quality and the relationship that he (Turner) can have with a young coach like Brad who is a very talented, young coach … it’s the kind of environment we were looking for.”
