The Los Angeles Lakers continue to reshape their basketball operations department, announcing Tuesday that Rohan Ramadas has been named assistant general manager of strategy and data systems. In the newly created role, Ramadas will oversee basketball analytics and strategic initiatives as the franchise continues to expand its front office infrastructure.
