nfreeman Posted January 3, 2022 Report Share Posted January 3, 2022 Anyone got any deets on his background? The tweets from Evolving Wild upthread make it sound like he's been around for a while, but "data engineer" sounds like a junior position.

Dreams Burn Down Posted January 3, 2022 Report Share Posted January 3, 2022 Does he have a statistical background? Holding people's mocha lattes doesn't count. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gatorman0519 Posted January 3, 2022 Report Share Posted January 3, 2022 I wonder how this all will play out. Either way this is a long term rebuild that will take years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two years out from being a legitimate playoff team if the young developmental players hit at a reasonable rate and they add goaltending. RD would help, too. It's been a decade of despair, but there's enough real potential for hope. Unless you enjoy pessimism, of course. Some folks are like that. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

7+6=13 Posted January 4, 2022 Report Share Posted January 4, 2022 The Houston Rockets are the 3rd worst team in the NBA. I understand it's mainly because of Harden's departure but maybe the analytics will bear fruit with all those 1st round picks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weave Posted January 4, 2022 Report Share Posted January 4, 2022 I am not entirely convinced convinced that analytics is a big difference maker in assembling a winning team, but hey I'll support any advantage they try to use. It beats the days of innovating with video scouting. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It beats the days of innovating with video scouting. Take a look at Carolina's drafting. Also keeping mind there is a difference between having analytics and using analytics... looking at you Seattle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sabres Fan in NS Posted January 4, 2022 Report Share Posted January 4, 2022 What in blazes is a *data engineer*? It sounds like a made up title, or that they engineer (as in make up) the data they spit out. Dare I say ... garbage in - garbage out?

Sounds like he's a number cruncher. The title engineer doesn't mean he's "junior", it means he's a technical expert. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure why you think that. The thrust of analytics is to identify and obtain top talent that other teams miss (and identify which current players need to go away). This certainly won't slow the build down and will probably make it faster. It will certainly improve build quality. 15 hours ago, Brawndo said: Well it certainly looks like he wants to play for the Sabres. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
