OAKLAND – Freshly retired from the NBA, Steve Nash will arrive at Warriors training camp next week in the official role of player development consultant.
Loosely defined, that means Nash will be much more than a brainstorming partner for reigning MVP Stephen Curry.
Warriors coach Steve Kerr, who recruited Nash to the job, said Friday he believes he has plenty to offer Curry but also to players throughout the roster.
“They’re very similar players,” Kerr said of Curry and Nash. “My experience around Steve is that he’s the most innovative athlete I’ve ever seen when it comes to pursuing greatness, whether it’s conditioning, basketball drills, whatever.
