2. Help With Offensive Sets

Shown by running an outdated Princeton Offense, Byron Scott isn’t an offensive genius. Nash has played under Mike D’Antoni and Don Nelson who both valued offense much more than defense. Therefore, Nash could offer his insight, based upon the makeup of the team, how to best use each player’s strengths to score more efficiently. Nash could act almost like an offensive coordinator in football by creating sets and counters for the Lakers to run. He was a conductor on the court and would be able to impart wisdom and insight to Clarkson, Kobe Bryant and other guards on how to see the game in a different light. Making his team better was Nash’s strength as a player and now he can do the same as a coach.
