Cory Jez, the Analytics Insider for the Portland Trail Blazers broadcast team, is receiving national attention for his first season on the job.
In an in-depth piece for Dime UPROXX, NBA writer Jackson Frank dives into the fresh basketball perspective Jez is bringing to Portland television screens this season.
In his first season as part of the Blazers’ crew, Jez holds a mantle as the lone Analytics Insider across all 30 NBA broadcasts. His title is legitimately unique. The broadcast has a deal with Second Spectrum, which enables Jez to share statistical insights like the ones mentioned above and quantify what everyone is watching.
