Lakers News: Lakers hire NBA’s director of basketball analytics to spearhead their own department

The Los Angeles Lakers continue making adjustments to their basketball operations team, this time taking a swing at a big fish to help in an area the franchise has struggled with in recent years. The Lakers have hired Jason Rosenfeld, the NBA’s director of basketball analytics, to fulfill a similar role for the purple and gold, reports Zach Lowe of ESPN.

For those who may have missed it, the person who previously held this post for the Lakers resigned back in May shortly after Magic Johnson and Rob Pelinka took control of the front office.
