As a data analyst obsessed with NBA roster construction, I break down the proposed trade of Rui Hachimura for Jonathan Isaac plus draft picks. Analyzing contract value, injury history, and lineup fit, we’ll examine if this move would actually solve the Lakers’ defensive woes or just create new salary cap headaches. Includes alternative trade scenarios involving Walker Kessler and draft capital.

As a data analyst who’s modeled NBA trajectories for ESPN, I’ve seen hype cycles come and go. Right now, one player is dominating headlines—yet I’m not buying the noise. In this post, I break down what the stats actually say about this draft buzz, why elite players like Durant and George didn’t get fooled, and what we should really watch in the final week before the draft. Let’s separate signal from noise—with numbers.

As a data analyst who’s built NBA prediction models for ESPN, I’ve run the numbers on Jalen Suggs and Alperen Şengün. The truth? Their roles overlap, but one outperforms the other in every key metric. Suggs is stuck between guard and forward, while Şengün’s versatility makes him the future. This isn’t about ego—it’s about efficiency. If you’re building a winning roster, math doesn’t lie.

Using statistical models and salary cap insights, we’ll explore potential moves that make sense—no wild fantasies here. Whether it’s free agency targets or blockbuster trades, let’s keep the discussion grounded in numbers.

As a data analyst with an MSc in math and 8 years building NBA prediction models, I dissected the Pacers’ Game 6 collapse. Why did their defense fall apart against pick-and-rolls? Why were rotations so inconsistent? Using real play-by-play data, I show that even a coach like Rick Carlisle—known for disciplined systems—would’ve been overwhelmed by this roster’s flaws. This isn’t about blame—it’s about structure, decision-making under pressure, and why ‘smart basketball’ fails without execution. Spoiler: it wasn’t just coaching.

Let’s unpack the numbers behind his quiet rise and why Steve Kerr would love to work with him.
