The Nets officially signed Griffin on Monday, after the former All-Star was bought out by the Detroit Pistons on Friday having not played in a game since Feb. 12.
Nash would go on to talk about what he expects from the Slam Dunk champion, and how he can fit in to this roster once he does get on the floor.
"That comes down to assessing him, and having a plan in the coming days to give him the best opportunity to finish the season strong as well," Nash said. "He hasn't played in a while either. So although he's been working out individually, we want to be cautious and make sure our plan is comprehensive for him to succeed as well.
"Similar answer to Kevin, just want to make sure we take a good hard look and come up with a plan that everyone agrees upon and gives him a great chance to have an impact."
Griffin has drastically improved his three-point shooting over the past couple of seasons. Over eight years (504 games) with the Los Angeles Clippers, he shot 31.6 percent on 0.9 attempts per game, compared to shooting 33.9 percent on 6.5 attempts per game in four seasons (138 games) with the Pistons.
"I think Blake is a small-ball-five who can make open threes," Nash said. "He's really good in the half role, playmaking, playing four-on-three, three-on-two, two-on-one situations. He's an intelligent player with great experience and IQ. There's plenty of ways I think he can adapt and help our team once he's fit and ready to go."
The five-time All-NBA forward played in only 18 games during the 2019-20 season, as he's dealt with knee injuries all throughout his career. Despite battling to stay healthy, Griffin has adapted to a more modern game, no longer relying on strictly alley-oop dunks to score.
"He's had a history of knee issues, he used to be a player that lived above the rim," Nash said. "So he's adapted and become a guy that handles the ball very well, passes very well, he's making threes. So he's adapted and changed his game, it's an attribute to the skill and intelligence he has as a basketball player.
"When you think of Blake Griffin in the first part of his career, you think of a high-wire act. And now he's still able to be very productive doing other things, and not doing that. He's adjusted and changed his game and flourished in other ways with three-point shooting, with playmaking, ball handling. Those type of skills that are very valuable in today's game, but are obviously a different look from the Blake we became accustomed to in the early part of his career."
