It’s still a little surreal, Pabail Sidhu says, that his career in basketball analytics has led him to a job with the defending NBA champions.
“There’s times when I catch myself – oh my gosh, what am I doing here? This is unreal,” he said. “Then you forget about it and go about it like, ‘I’m supposed to be here. I’m here to help.’”
After spending five seasons on the staff of coach Lorenzo Romar as the Washington Huskies’ director of basketball strategies, Sidhu began a new job in June with the Golden State Warriors, working under the title of director of basketball analytics and innovation.
