NBA teams have shifted a large segment of their front office staffs towards the analytics side of the game, a trend that perhaps left some potential candidates without an interview of their own, according to Rose. The former San Antonio Spurs forward doesn’t disagree with the notion of those well-versed in analytics, but rather feels there needs to be a balance for any front office to be successful.

“Everybody’s different, but our analytic guys played the game too. The same way numbers are natural for them, they can look at an algorithm or metric and bam,” Rose said. “For me I can look at the game and I can see how (players) come in and out of a huddle or their body language on the next call. Basketball is natural or germane to me, the same way numbers are to those guys. I’ve put numbers in my repertoire so to say while the numbers guys have added basketball to their game.”
