The attack has been traced to the Industrial Arts class run by James Wilson and Fredrick Jones. Neither of the teachers is implicated in the terrorist attack. On the contrary, this is the work of one of their students. The mastermind behind the ‘L ifelong learning’ at attack is Altug Delen, well known as a flyer and command- er of drones. Delen’s abilities are so advanced that students tremble in fear at the thought of going outside. The school has been on total lockdown since this rebellion started.

  • Chuckers: Measuring Lineup Shot Distribution Optimality Using Spatial Allocative Efficiency Models
    Chuckers: Measuring Lineup Shot Distribution Optimality Using Spatial Allocative Efficiency Models Nathan Sandholtz1 Jacob Mortensen1 Luke Bornn1,2 [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] 1. Introduction In the 2017-18 NBA playoffs, Russell Westbrook scored 46 points on 43 shot attempts in a 96-91 loss to the Utah Jazz, ending the Oklahoma City Thunder's season. At the time, many popular media figures conjectured that having one player dominate field goal attempts in this way would limit the Thunder's success. While scoring 46 points in a playoff basketball game is an impressive feat for any one player, its impact on the win column is moderated by the fact that it required 43 attempts. At its core, this critique is about efficiency. Modern discussion around efficiency in the NBA typically focuses on either individual player efficiency or shot selection. Conceptually, the foundation for shot selection efficiency is simple: shots at the rim and 3-point shots have the highest eXpected points per shot, so teams should prioritize these high-value shots. The idea underlying individual player efficiency is also straightforward; scoring more points on the same number of shot attempts increases a team’s chances of winning. However, implicit in any discussion of player efficiency is the idea that inefficient players have a negative impact because basketball is a team sport. We are concerned with efficiency not just because a given player is inefficient, but because inefficient players take shot opportunities away from teammates that may have higher value. In other words, if Westbrook was surrounded by dismal shooters his 43 shot attempts might appear more defensible, but if his inordinate number of attempts prevented highly efficient shots from other players, then he has caused shots to be inefficiently distributed among the players on the team and decreased their winning potential.
