Ben Falk is the statistical analyst of the Portland Trail Blazers.

"(Falk is) probably the top analytics guy in our the league," said Neil Olshey during a recent Blazers' broadcast.

Falk had a perfect score on his SATs.

"Ben is a brilliant kid, he gives us a game review. At the end of it, it was just a general comment: It's not rocket science, if we play good defense, we win. If we don't play good defense, we lose. That's going to be the common denominator. We're going to score the ball. If we can crank up our pressure defensively, first and second unit, and really tighten that side of the floor.
