We are about to fuck the league ANALytically.
Joining the 21st century right on schedule. I work in data engineering and i remember when i met a data scientist out of college who wanted to work for the hornets. I had done some non profit stuff with the team at one point and got her in touch with someone only to find out that we essentially had no analytics department. Total malpractice at this point, our coaches arent even armed with non public lineup data.
