‘Botterill thinks it’s extremely important to integrate both analytics and the eye test in player evaluation. He thinks you need scouts and analytics to make the best decisions for your team. “I don’t want to say specifically what we use as I’ll keep that internal, but it’s important to respect both sides, Botterill said. “We want to hear both sides, we want to hear what our scouts have to say and what they see and we want to hear the numbers that can give us an edge in evaluating players.”’
