Gotta be a slap in the face to the Pels director of analytics.
Oh you use analytics, well we surely can't tell!!
I reckon that he's a pretty young guy who went to HS here in New Orleans.

Shane Kupperman is the guy I was talking about.
Shane Kupperman, Director of Basketball Operations – Kupperman has worked for the team for four seasons prior to this one, moving up in the ranks through his analytics efforts. He is a 2007 graduate of the University of Indiana and received his graduate degree at the University of Southern Cal – also working with their basketball team for two years – before joining the New Orleans Hornets’ organization. Currently, he focuses on salary cap management, roster management, and player evaluation (Memphis Grizzlies VP of Basketball Operations John Hollinger mentioned at the SSAC that he views salary cap management as the most important thing that he does). Kupperman was recently featured in Forbes’ “30 under 30? list within the sports industry, a very impressive honor. He is also a part of the 26-member Editorial Board for the Journal of Sports Analytics, joining Demps as the second Pelicans employee with an affiliation to the journal.
Somak Sarkar, Basketball Operations Strategic Analyst – Sarkar graduated from Rice in 2013 and interned with the Houston Rockets during the 2012-13 NBA season in their basketball operations group. Though young, an internship with Morey’s group is at least one clear indication that he knows what he’s doing.
