(Byron) Scott denied that he has taken a different approach to coaching (D’Angelo) Russell as opposed to (Chris) Paul or (Kyrie) Irving but made it clear that they are just different players. “I think both of those guys were probably more mature and a little bit further ahead from where D.A. is right now,” Scott said. “He still has a way to go. Those guys were a bit more polished when they got in the league, so it wasn’t much I had to do with them. Just give them the ball and say, ‘Do this and that and this.’ This kid, I’m going to have to start from scratch pretty much. But I still think he’s going to be a pretty damn good player.”
