(PROCESS)[BYRON SCOTT]

During my rookie season, Byron and I would talk. A lot. He would share veteran stories with me, tell me about Magic, Kareem, and series they played together. He shared a lot of historical knowledge with me. He also gave me the low-down on how to cover certain shooting guards. Specifically, he worked with me on how to chase players around screens and other tactical elements of NBA defense. Outside of that, Byron schooled me on time management—how to make the most of each and every day.
