According to head coach Mike Brown himself, Nash will already have much control of the offense from the get-go, as he will be calling the team's plays on offense.
With Nash being one of the greatest point guards of all-time, it would only be the right thing to do in this situation.
"Steve’s going to have an opportunity -- he’s going to quarterback the team -- and so he’s going to have an opportunity to come down the floor every possession and in early offense play pick-and-roll if he wants to," Brown told Brian Kamenetzky of ESPN. "It’s up to him, based on where he decides to take the ball or a call that he makes or an action that he does, it’s up to him to get us into some of the looks of the Princeton offense.
“So again, with him quarterbacking, or making that decision, he’ll still have a chance to get the ball back after he moves or after bodies move. I don’t want to completely give away what we’re trying to do, but in a nutshell, he will have an opportunity to play pick-and-roll at the beginning of almost every play set coming down the floor in early offense. And if not, he can also choose to get to some of the looks out of the Princeton by making a pass or doing an action or doing a call or whatever.”
Overall, it's going to be interesting how this Lakers team works out this season.
