A hefty challenge soon awaits Olivier Hanlan, who will soon find out whether three successful seasons as Boston College’s point guard will carry over into an NBA dominated by them.
But as Hanlan discovers whether he can translate his experience running an offense, he will have a trusted mentor who appears more than happy to provide an assist.
Former Lakers guard Steve Nash already has a relationship with Hanlan through the Canadian’s men’s basketball team. Hanlan has played on the U-19 and U-17 national teams in recent years, while Nash has served as the organization’s general manager.
