    im not exactly sure what he is being hired to do, but if it is just analytics, im not sure how he could do such a poor job that it would even be reported on

    The Grizzlies have made other creative hires, like Jerry West and Hubie Brown. Seems there were others if I think about it. Although they have a new owner.

    He's a VP of basketball operations if I'm not mistaken. That's more than just "stat guy" if I understand the position correctly.

    like i said i wasnt sure, although im not really in the loop as far as vp of basketball operations statistics go, is it easily quantifiable with a pace adjusted stat (that ignores man defense)?

    Memphis probably offered him 5 times what ESPN paid him, like $3 million per year.
