Relationships are everything.
When it comes to how NBA front offices and coaching staffs operate and connect with those overseeing the analytics, relationships are vital as the stream of information is formed. For the Denver Nuggets, the relationship between the key parties involved in decision-making has been built and fortified over the past four years.
In the first part of our series on the Nuggets analytics department, we reflected on the process that was taken to create the current department, along with the role it plays in answering basketball-related questions that arise throughout the year. In part two, we will take a look at the relationships that have been created in Denver’s front office and how they impact the decision-making process.
