Byron Scott hasn’t talked to D'Angelo Russell about starting after All-Star break
"Communication."
When we talk about Lakers’ coach Byron Scott’s questioned player development skills with young players Julius Randle, Jordan Clarkson, and particularly D'Angelo Russell, it is his old-school lack of communication that comes into question. It’s what is different from what Gregg Popovich or Quin Snyder or other guys developing strong young players have done. From the outside (we’re not in practices/film sessions), we see Scott was not letting Russell play through mistakes — feeling that was rewarding bad behavior — but then not doing a good job communicating what the player is doing wrong.
“Scott says he plans to start Russell after NBA All-Star weekend (Feb. 12-14). But Scott said the two have not talked about that issue," according to the LA Daily News.
“He is not old enough for me to have a meeting with him and discuss, ‘What do you think?’” Scott said.
I would say you should have that meeting — it’s called a teachable moment. “What do you think? Well here is what I see that is different.”
Part of what is going on with Scott and Russell is the concern from some in the Lakers’ camp that Russell comes off cocky as Scott puts it, that his ego is big. So they are trying to take him down a peg. I would say that for a smart player — and Russell is that — the game is humbling and will take care of the ego issue. But you’ve got to give him run to develop him.
Play him, and then communicate with him. It’s a system that does worth with modern players.
We've been complaining the last two seasons about Clarkson, Randle and Russell not getting enough minutes. I'm exaggerating, but I'm okay with overplaying them now.**** Thibs unless he's an associate head coach.
Last thing we need is burnt out 26 year old superstars
