The Lakers are expanding their analytics department as they move into the future with their young core.
The Los Angeles Lakers are working on internal improvements after receiving harsh criticism following their free agency meetings with LaMarcus Aldridge. Advanced scout Clay Moser will join the front office as a "liason" for the Lakers' analytics department, reports Bill Oram of the OC Register. Moser's role will be to be a "pipeline of ideas" between the analytics team and front office.
The Lakers' statistical approach to basketball has been questionable at best. Aldridge was reportedly unimpressed with what the Lakers had to say about their on-court approach.
