Not too sure about that. Cuban has used Wayne Winston for many years to crunch numbers for him.

Now he isn't only numbers- but no one with any decision making ability in the NBA is only numbers.

quote:

"Basketball guys who participated in the game through years of rigorous training and practice, decades of observation work through film and field participation work feel under-utilized and under-appreciated and are quite insulted because their PhDs in basketball have been downgraded," the former executive, who chose to remain anonymous, told ESPN NBA Insider Chris Broussard.

Whoa. You know, for PhDs in basketball to be downgraded, they need to have first actually existed. So let me help with that.

I think the thing about analytics is exactly what SVG said. You need basketball people who can put the patterns that form in context, otherwise you pay attention to meaningless stats like miles ran. This really is true of any data mining, with enough data lots of patterns will develop, not all of which are meaningful.
