Local Matchups Friday LIU at Hofstra, 7:00: After LIU’s fabulous run to the NCAA Tournament last, the Blackbirds have become one of the hottest programs in the NY Metro area. With six of its top eight players back, led by junior forward Julian Boyd the Blackbirds could he a handful for Hofstra. As for the Pride, Mo Cassara’s group could be one of the most underrated in the area.

  • 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.

    Generating Relative Pick Value in the NBA Draft and Predicting Success from College Basketball A Major Qualifying Project Report: submitted to the faculty of the WORCESTER POLYTECHNIC INSTITUTE in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Bachelor of Science by ____________________ Michael Krebs ____________________ Jake Scheide Date: Approved: _______________________ Professor Craig Wills, Major Advisor MQP-CEW-1901 Abstract This project analyzes existing basketball player performance metrics, and generates new metrics providing context behind player statistics. Using these metrics, we create a chart quantifying the value of each pick in the NBA Draft. Finally, we create machine learning models that predict the likelihood of NBA success for NCAA student-athletes. i Acknowledgements We would like to thank Professor Wills for his encouragement of us to apply our technical backgrounds to our shared love for basketball. We would also like to thank the staff at basketball-reference.com, as their extensive database of college and NBA players made this project possible. We would finally like to thank Jimmy Johnson, Kevin Pelton, Dr. Aaron Barzilai, and the numerous other analysts who’s work informed our own, providing guidance and comparisons. We hope our work will make a meaningful contribution to the growing body of literature involving sports data mining. ii Table of Contents Abstract ...........................................................................................................................................
