I'm not familiar with Matt Lloyd and any draft picks associated with him? What draft picks have we taken where analytics came into play or were part of the evaluation? Doug McDermott was a good outside shooter, but analytics said not to take him so high because his steal and block rate was so low in college. Like I really don't think the Bulls ever used advanced analytics when it came to drafting players... Well no one knows exactly how influential he was, but his last draft with the Bulls was 2011, which was immediately followed with Teague, Snell, McDermott. Good summary, and mentions vaguely use of analytics. https://www.blogabull.com/2015/5/18/8610703/why-the-bulls-no-longer-draft-successfully-the-loss-of-matt-lloyd-and The next 3 picks were bad and the McDermott selection was really bad... I read the article, but some of those earlier picks are no-brainers like Derrick Rose (you don't need analytics to tell you DRose is awesome lol). Joakim Noah is such a weird player, but he went about where he was suppose to go according to most experts. I think analytics would not be high on him (subpar wingspan for a big with an unorthodox release on his jumpshot). I heard Forman was the main reason behind the Bulls taking Taj Gibson and Jimmy Butler. I follow the Bulls pretty closely and I've never heard of this Matt Lloyd dude. I'm sure he helped, but the Bulls have long been known around the league for being behind in analytics/R&D.
