  • Utah Jazz Draft Ex-CU Buff Alec Burks
    Page 1 of 2 Utah Jazz draft Ex-CU Buff Alec Burks Guard taken 12th to end up a lottery pick By Ryan Thorburn Camera Sports Writer Boulder Daily Camera Posted:06/23/2011 06:57:18 PM MDT Alec Burks doesn't need 140 characters to describe the journey. Wheels up. ... Milwaukee. ... Tired. ... Sacramento. ... Airport life. ... Charlotte. ... Dummy tired. ... Phoenix. ... Thankful for another day. These are some of the simple messages the former Colorado guard sent via Twitter to keep his followers up to date with the journey from Colorado to the NBA. After finishing the spring semester at CU in May, Burks worked out for seven different teams. The Utah Jazz, the last team Burks auditioned for, selected the 6-foot-6 shooting guard with the No. 12 pick. Hoops dream realized. "It was exciting," Burks said during a teleconference from the the Prudential Center in Newark, N.J. not long after shaking NBA commissioner David Stern's hand and posing for photos in a new three-piece suit and Jazz cap. "I'm glad they picked me." A lot of draftniks predicted Jimmer Fredette and the Jazz would make beautiful music together, but the BYU star was taken by Milwaukee at No. 10 -- the frequently forecasted landing spot for Burks -- and then traded to Sacramento. "I don't really believe in the mock drafts," Burks said. "They don't really know what's going to happen. I'm just glad to be in the lottery." Burks, who doesn't turn 20 until next month, agonized over the decision whether to remain in college or turn professional throughout a dazzling sophomore season in Boulder.

  • Unsupervised Modeling of the Movement of Basketball Players Using a Deep Generative Model
    Unsupervised modeling of the movement of basketball players using a Deep Generative Model David Acuna University of Toronto [email protected] Abstract We present a deep generative model that is able to synthesized the movement of a given basketball player conditioning on the trajectory of the ball. For that, we used the freely available NBA SportVU tracking data and a Conditional Variational Autoencoder (CVAE). Similar to previous approaches, we capture the movement of the player and the ball using pictorial representations. The temporal aspects of the trajectories are encoded using ‘fading’. We show that our architecture is able to correctly model the movement of the players, the movement of a given player, and the movement of a given player conditioning on the trajectory of the ball. To the best of our knowledge, this work constitutes one of the first attempts to synthesize the movement of basketball players using a deep generative approach. 1 Introduction Basketball is fundamentally a game of effective movement, precision passing, communication and team chemistry. However, when it comes to pure effectiveness on the basketball court, it is the ability to know when and where to go what separates the great players from the rest. As a result, STATS SportVU [1] utilizes a six-camera system to track the real-time positions of players and the ball 25 times per second during the game. This combination of player and ball tracking statistics has led to an incredible amount of raw data for basketball analytics. This, together with the extraordinary success of Deep Neural Networks in areas such as Computer Vision and Natural Language Processing [2; 3], and the capacity of such models to find insights into large volume of data [4] , has significantly increased the attention of neural networks based architecture for basketball analytics.

  • Devon Energy College Basketball Awards Announced; Oklahoma State’S Marcus Smart Heads Tisdale Watch List
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE October 15, 2012 Devon Energy College Basketball Awards Announced; Oklahoma State’s Marcus Smart Heads Tisdale Watch List OKLAHOMA CITY – The focus of NCAA men’s college basketball will be squarely on Oklahoma April 15, 2013 when the Devon Energy College Basketball Awards honors four of the game’s best. The name of the new awards event, formally known as the Wayman Tisdale Awards Gala, was unveiled this morning at the National Cowboy and Western Heritage Museum, the site of the 2013 gala. As was announced earlier this year, the presentation of the Oscar Robertson Player of the Year Trophy presented by AFLAC, the Henry Iba Coach of the Year Award, and the Integris Wayman Tisdale Freshman of the Year Award, will be combined into a gala to be held annually the Monday following the NCAA Men’s Final Four. The U.S. Basketball Writers Association (USBWA) has previously presented the Robertson and Iba awards at its Champions Breakfast annually at the Final Four. The honoree receiving the Wayman Tisdale Humanitarian Award, presented by Devon Energy, will also be recognized at the Oklahoma City gala. ESPN’s Dick Vitale and Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski were the first two Humanitarian honorees and were on hand at the event. Devon Energy has been the founding presenting sponsor of the Tisdale event since its inception in 2011 and Alan Marcum, Devon executive vice president of administration, was on hand Monday morning to announce Devon’s commitment to the event and specifically to the Tisdale name through the Humanitarian Award. “It will be exciting for Devon, as an Oklahoma City-based company, to have the winners of these four prestigious awards here on the same stage for the first time,” Marcum said.
