Kirk Goldsberry was a contributor for Grantland and FiveThirtyEight who is well-known for the shot charts he designs breaking down where players and teams shoot the ball most effectively.
According to RealGM.com, the San Antonio Spurs hired Goldsberry on Monday. ESPN writer and former Grantland writer Bill Barnwell reacted to the news:
Since he outed the news on the BS Podcast: very excited and proud to see Grantland running buddy/good friend @kirkgoldsberry join the Spurs.
