He started the season off hot, scoring 31 or more points in each of his first five games, including a 47-point breakout in the fifth game.
18 games into the season, and Nash is now leading the BJ league in scoring, averaging 26.4 points and helping lead the Firebonds to a turnaround this season after finishing with a 21-31 record last season.
