>Harrel also served as an NBA representative on the league’s Competition Committee and managed the league’s research into on-court rules changes. Harrel graduated cum laude with an economics degree from Princeton University and began his career as a strategy & analytics intern with the Houston Astros in 2015.

Alrighty then.
Going from no analytics team to getting the actual NBA organisation’s best analytics person is crazy.
