Roland Beech, who joined the Kings two years ago to boost the team’s analytics department, is leaving the team.
Beech, whose title this past season was vice president of basketball results, joined the Kings as vice president of basketball strategy and data science. Prior to arriving in Sacramento, Beech worked for the Dallas Mavericks in a variety of capacities, including as an assistant coach on the 2011 NBA championship team.
Beech’s statistical analysis caught the attention of Mavs owner Mark Cuban in 2002-03, when he built the website 82games.com, which was aided by the NBA making box scores available for the public.
