  • Dynamic Player Significance (DPS): a New Comprehensive Basketball Statistic
    Dynamic Player Significance (DPS): A new comprehensive basketball statistic David Hill Media Lab, Massachusetts Institute of Technology Cambridge, Massachusetts, USA [email protected] 15.071 (The Analytics Edge) Final Project May 13, 2013 Abstract Dynamic player significance is a new basketball metric designed to measure each NBA player's importance, or significance, to his franchise. This metric attempts to clearly define each player's role on the team and how it fits with the team's identity. Its key aspect is that it is influenced by the on-court identity of each franchise, which is defined as the collection of factors that contribute most to a win by a given team. These factors differ for every NBA team. Therefore, two players with completely identical stats/skillsets, but different teams, will most likely have different significance values. Alternatively, if a player is traded from one team to another, his significance will differ on the new team even if his production remains constant. Hence, dynamic player significance. Here, I have broken down the components of the model and explored three case studies that clearly show how teams’ identities deviate. Additionally, player evaluations have been explored to show tendencies in the model across multiple conditions. The proposed statistic could help inform team personnel decisions and coaching strategies, in addition to gauging player effectiveness. Motivation In the NBA, one of the most important things for any team to establish is an identity. These are the traits that define a team. Often, identity is the major factor that governs all transactions, whether the team is looking for players, hiring a coach, or filling front office positions.

  • 2013 Retrospective FINAL
    A LOOK BACK AT THE McDONALD’S ALL AMERICAN® GAMES SUPERSTARS AND UNFORGETTABLE MEMORIES FROM GAMES PAST You’ve seen them on TV and at the movies, in the NBA, WNBA and college ranks – McDonald’s All American alumni are household names to basketball fans. But before they were winning Olympic gold medals, NBA, WNBA and NCAA championships, many of them received their first major national television exposure as high school students at the McDonald’s All American Games. Since the Games inception, more than 1,000 prep stars have been named McDonald’s All Americans and had the opportunity to show off their skills on a national stage before reaching the college or professional ranks. Most importantly, the Games raise funds for Ronald McDonald House Charities® (RMHC®) and its network of local Chapters. To date, the McDonald’s All American Games have raised more than $10 million for RMHC, helping to bring families together in their time of need. As we look forward to celebrating the 37th Anniversary of the McDonald’s All American Boys Game and the 13th Anniversary of the Girls Game on April 2, 2014 in Chicago, Ill., the following is a brief look back at highlights from the past 36 years of McDonald’s All American Games, including funds raised for RMHC: Chicago, Ill. 2013 For the third year in a row, the 2013 McDonald’s All American Games took place at Chicago’s United Center. The 2013 Games raised nearly $470,000 for Ronald McDonald House Charities and were played in front of a crowd of 15,818.

  • Master Thesis DL
    Master Thesis The Detailed Player Rating: an elaborate approach to rating NBA players Supervisors: Author: Prof. dr. Richard Paap Dailinh Nguyen Dr. Wendung Wang February 8, 2016 Abstract Making correct decisions regarding player trades is important for NBA teams, in a league where every team is bound by the same salary restrictions. Therefore player rating tools can be useful for NBA teams to support these decisions. In this thesis we design a new method for rating NBA players, called the Detailed Player Rating (DPR). Our method has the added information over the current player rat- ing methods, that it not only estimates a player's skill level, but also what aspects of basketball are most important for winning and how each player contributes to these aspects. We have shown that the DPR method shows comparable results in terms of predictive power, but provides more useful information and does not overvalue offensive skills, which most current player rating methods do.
