Lakers plan staff move to beef up analytics operation

湖人準備將人員安排到數據分析的職位

LAS VEGAS – Lakers executives have long defended their use of advanced
statistics, disputing the public perception that the 16-time NBA champions
are behind the times.

湖人說他們的統計是最先進的

The organization, however, is taking steps to strengthen the analytics side
of things, with plans to create a position for a staff member to facilitate
better communication between the basketball staff and those crunching the
numbers.

目前開始計畫要有專人數據分析，並且要能用數據溝通的能力

Assistant coach and advance scout Clay Moser is expected to transition from
the bench to the front office in a sort of liaison position, which previously
did not exist within the organization. A team spokesman confirmed Monday that
the move is in the works.

助理教練與球探Clay Moser是安排的人選

The responsibilities of the role have been among those heaped upon assistant
coach Mark Madsen. The plan with Moser, however, is to facilitate a pipeline
of ideas with a basketball person in the front office.


Moser has been with the Lakers since 2011, when Mike Brown hired him as an
advance scout. Before that, he was an assistant coach for the D-Fenders and
Reno Bighorns of the Development League, as well as an advance scout for
Cleveland, Orlando, Sacramento and Golden State.

Team officials felt that statistical analysis got lost in translation between
the two branches of the organization, with statistics employees sometimes
failing to understand the practical complications of making certain
adjustments based on numbers, and the coaches not appreciating the value of
the stats.

球隊人員認為教練不欣賞統計資料的價值，所以數據分析派不上用場

In February, ESPN.com ranked the Lakers 113th out of 122 professional sports
franchises for their use of analytics, and grouped the organization among
just three “nonbelievers” league-wide, along with the Brooklyn Nets and New
York Knicks.

ESPN統計，122個有使用數據分析職業球隊裡，湖人排113名。

 Around that time the website published a story with a headline that asked, “
Are the Lakers stuck in the stone age?”

所以就吐槽了說，湖人活在石器時代

ESPN reported that the Lakers employed six full-time analytics staffers,
including four who focused on data from the in-arena SportVU cameras.

The external view of the Lakers analytics operation was only made worse when
free agent LaMarcus Aldridge was reportedly underwhelmed by the Lakers'
basketball presentation, and subsequently wowed by Houston’s use of
analytics in its pitch.

AGG面談時發現數據分析很慘，只有你是我的Gasol

Coach Byron Scott has been especially resistant to analytics.

總教練Scott抵制數據分析(從之前的對話來看，他是Come on Come on 給我感覺)

Madsen provided Scott with a weekly breakdown of advanced statistics, but in
the middle of last season Scott said those numbers had never influenced a
basketball decision.

He said he listens to the information when its brought to him, but that he is
"still just old school."

老派教練，不愛數據

The disconnect became apparent in February when Mitch Kupchak told KSPN/710
that analytics are “of most use to a coaching staff.” Scott, however, said
he had no use for them.

即使Mitch Kupchak告知了數據，但Scott說數據不會影響場上的決定

“I think we’ve got a few guys who believe in them,” he said. “I’m not
one of them.”

Scott說:我想我們有幾個教練團相信數據，但很可惜我不是。
