  • NBA Court Realty Dan Cervone (New York University), Luke Bornn (Simon Fraser University), and Kirk Goldsberry (University of Texas)
    NBA Court Realty Dan Cervone (New York University), Luke Bornn (Simon Fraser University), and Kirk Goldsberry (University of Texas) The Court is a Real Estate Market Throughout a basketball possession, teams fight to control valuable court space. For example, - being near the basket or in the corner 3 areas leads to high-value shots - having the ball at the top of the arc keeps many pass options open - being open and undefended anywhere on the court eases ball movement and minimizes turnovers. Using only patterns of ball movement such as passes, we are able to infer which regions of the court teams value most, and quantify the effects of controlling such regions. This leads to new spatial characterizations of team/player strategy, and value quantifications of positioning and spacing. For instance, we can compare the value of the space the ballcarrier controls with the value of the space his teammates control to better understand how different lineups manage on- and off-ball resources. Above: Map of NBA court real estate values during 2014-15 season. Just like New York City (right), property values vary Read the full paper: dramatically by neighborhood. The hoop is the Tribeca of the NBA. 30 feet away? That's more like Astoria. The Value of a Player's Court Real Estate Investment Portfolio 3. Valuing property investments based on exchanges: When players pass the ball on offense, the team exchanges property investments. The patterns of these transactions allow us to infer the value of each player's real estate investment porfolio. For instance, in the figure on the left, if a pass between players A and B is equally likely to go A → B as B → A, we'd think A's and B's investment 1.

  • Angelo Russell Traded to Warriors
    Former OSU Standout D’Angelo Russell Traded To Warriors Instead of losing superstar forward Kevin Durant for nothing, the five-time reigning Western Conference champion Warriors will add All-Star guard D’Angelo Russell in a sign and trade. Golden State and Brooklyn have agreed on a sign-and-trade, sending D’Angelo Russell to the Warriors on a four-year, $117M maximum contract, league sources tell ESPN. — Adrian Wojnarowski (@wojespn) July 1, 2019 While Durant is teaming up with three-time All-NBA center and long-time friend DeAndre Jordan and two-time All-NBA point guard Kyrie Irving in Brooklyn, the Warriors did not want to walk away empty handed. The Golden State front office worked with Brooklyn to acquire Russell, whom the Nets could no longer afford with the addition of its All-NBA trio. The Warriors will reportedly add Russell and fellow guards Treveon Graham and Shabazz Napier, sending Durant, who may miss most or all of the 2019-20 season recovering from surgery on a ruptured Achilles, to Brooklyn. Given that two-time MVP point guard Steph Curry is already on a max contract and two-time All-NBA shooting guard Klay Thompson signed a five-year, $190 million contract, Golden State could not bring in Russell on the four-year, $117 million contract he agreed to without clearing cap space. In order to free up enough space to bring in Russell, the Warriors traded former NBA Finals MVP Andre Iguodala to the Grizzlies along with future draft picks. Golden State is trading Andre Iguodala to the Memphis Grizzlies, league source tells ESPN.

  • 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.
