  • NBA Court Realty
    NBA Court Realty Dan Cervone, Luke Bornn and Kirk Goldsberry New York Unversity, Simon Fraser University, and University of Texas (Austin) 1 Intro: the Basketball Court is a Real Estate Market Continuously throughout every basketball possession, players control different regions of the basket- ball court. Some regions are more valuable than others, and players’ control (or lack thereof) of valu- able court space dictates the low and strategy of a basketball possession for both the offense and defense. As professionals engaged in high-stakes competition, we assume players are rational actors, and the exchanges they make to acquire new court space represent a winning strategy for their team. This simple assumption allows us to infer the value (price) of court real estate based on player and ball movement alone. In this paper, we provide a deinition of court space ownership, and infer the value of court space using SportVu player location data. Spatial tracking data has enabled a recent paradigm shift in bas- ketball analytics [4, 7, 1, 3]; we add to this growing literature by focusing on space, itself, as the object of investigation. By modeling court space and court ownership, we reveal different valuable regions of the court among the NBA’s players and teams, and insightful new metrics for both offense and de- fense. For instance, we can measure ballcarriers’ off-ball impact on offense by calculating the value of the space freed up for their teammates to control. For analyzing defense, we can quantify how ef- fectively different teams (and players) contain the offense (and particular players) within low-value regions of the court.

  • Real World Performance Tasks
    Los Angeles Lakers Real World Performance Tasks Real World Real Life, Real Data, Real-Time - These activities put students into real life scenarios where they use real-time, real data to solve proBlems. In the NLSN series, we use data from NBA.com and update our data regularly. Note - some data has been rounded or simplified in order to adjust the math to the appropriate level. Engaging Relevant – Students today are very familiar with professional Basketball, making these activities very relevant to their everyday lives. To pique their interest further, try asking the Your Challenge question to the class first. Authentic Tasks - Through these activity sheets students learn how to project a player’s efficiency rating and are prompted to form opinions and ideas about how they would solve real life proBlems. A glossary is included to help them with the unfamiliar terms used. Student Choice - Each set of activity sheets is available in multiple versions where students will do the same activities using data for different teams (e.g. Oklahoma City Thunder, Golden State Warriors, and Chicago Bulls). You or your students can pick the team that most interests them. Modular Principal Activity - The activity sheets always start with repeated practice of a core skill matched to a common core standard, as set out in the Teacher Guide. This principal activity (or Level 1 as it is labeled to students) can Be used in isolation. This should generally take around 10-15 minutes. Step Up Activity - For the Level 2 questions, students are required to integrate a different skill or set of skills with increasing complexity.

  • A Descriptive Model for NBA Player Ratings Using Shot-Specific-Distance Expected Value Points Per Possession
    A Descriptive Model for NBA Player Ratings Using Shot-Specific-Distance Expected Value Points per Possession Chris Pickard MCS 100 June 5, 2016 Abstract This paper develops a player evaluation framework that measures the expected points per possession by shot distance for a given player while on the court as either an offensive or defensive adversary. This is done by modeling a basketball possession as a binary progression of events with known expected point values for each event progression. For a given player, the expected points contributed are determined by the skills of his teammates, opponents and the likelihood a particular event occurs while he is on the court. This framework assesses the impact a player has on his team in terms of total possession and shot-specific-distance offensive and defensive expected points contributed per possession. By refining the model by shot-specific-distance events, the relative strengths and weaknesses of a player can be determined to better understand where he maximizes or minimizes his team’s success. In addition, the model’s framework can be used to estimate the number of wins contributed by a player above a replacement level player. This can be used to estimate a player’s impact on winning games and indicate if his on-court value is reflected by his market value. 1 Introduction In any sport, evaluating the performance impact of a given player towards his or her team’s chance of winning begins by identifying key performance indicators [KPIs] of winning games. The identification of KPIs begins by observing the flow and subsequent interactions that define a game.
