THESE ARE SOME OF MY FAVORITE BASKETBALL PROJECTS.
Using clustering algorithms to group players by offensive role based on Synergy play-type data.
Looking at trends in shot selection using charts, interactive dashboards, and animation.
Sampling from distributions of play- and possession-outcomes to create probability-based simulations of basketball games.
Tracing the path of assists to highlight passing tendencies and offensive schemes.
Evaluating how things like a team’s pace of play, talent distribution, and roster continuity impact the odds of postseason success.
Thinking about how rest days and injuries can impact a player’s energy level and performance.
Optimizing lineup fit based on combinations of the players’ skill sets and sizes.
Inferring changes in players’ confidence after sequences of made or missed shots.
Substitution patterns from play-by-play data.
