“We met with Elfrid, and he was our first meeting… We’ve been studying him over a long time and we really feel like his skill set is going to make us a better team…Our coaching staff did a great job of showing him some video and some analytics that showed with the way he plays, that he’s gonna elevate our group.”
The emphasis on “analytics” is mine. Throughout the press conference, all parties repeated the desire to push the ball in transition. And why wouldn’t they? We all saw the success the team had post-Boogie by ramping up the pace and fully committing to running.
