Absolutely.
That Ziller piece talks about how GMs now do both. Less Elgin Baylors, more Danny Ainges. The baseball comparison is particularly apt IMO.
Lowe had a series of tweets yesterday referencing the article and this idea that people who are comfortable with numbers only look at STATS.

They depress me b/c: 1) No analytics person I know ignores context like that. 2. If there are even 1 or 2 left who do, that's poor hiring.

People in the league need to stop talking about analytics as an alternative to watching games/film. It's dumb. Sets the discussion back.

Start talking about the interesting questions — questions that arise based on WATCHING GAMES — that analytics might help you answer.

Literally, I have met zero analtyics people who wouldn't consider system, fit, roster, film in their analysis of a player. Zippo.

I have heard of 1-2 such "analytics-only" types that are semi-evangelical. They are out of the league now. Others will be, too. Fast.

Some might weigh analytics/film more/less than others in player discussion. That's called healthy dialogue, provided everyone knows the game

The great Jon Bois with a new sports video game series, NBA Y2K. If you saw any of his Breaking Madden, this is more of the same.
Video at the end, perhaps NSFW depending on where you work.
More stuff on cutting all the Sixers players, replacing them with 5'3" create a players, and scouting a 7'6" 49 yo old prospect named Horrid Shithead.

If the Sixers really are intentionally tanking, they apparently need to lose even more than 100 percent of their games, because they still aren't in last place. It's kind of staggering: even after dropping an NBA-record 26 straight, they're still two games ahead of the 14-60 Milwaukee Bucks.
Clearly, 26 is not enough. I want an 0-82 season. And through the simulation abilities of NBA 2K14 for the Xbox 360, that's what we're going to try to accomplish.
