Former Syracuse basketball data analyst Eugene Tulyagijja has moved on to the pros.
Tulyagijja confirmed to me on Thursday that he has joined the NBA's New York Knicks as the team's assistant director of coaching analytics. A huge congrats to Eugene!
The Knicks figure to be one of the NBA's top teams again in the 2025-26 season, which got underway earlier this week. Last season, New York was a No. 3 seed in the playoffs and advanced to the Eastern Conference Finals, where the Knicks fell to the No. 4 seed, the Indiana Pacers.
On Wednesday, in New York's 2025-26 campaign opener, the Knicks beat Cleveland at home by a final of 119-111.
