The Denver Broncos hired former Philadelphia 76ers general manager Sam Hinkie to serve as an analytics consultant, per The Athletic, and I couldn’t be happier.
If you’ve ever heard the phrase “Trust the Process” in relation to a sports team, it’s likely linked to Hinkie’s old team. You see, basketball is a sport where a few elite players can shift the landscape of the entire game, more so than they can in football. Since basketball features five players on the court, versus eleven players on the field in football, having three elite players affects the game to a much greater degree.
