2024 Sloan Sports Analytics Conference videos
Re: 2024 Sloan Sports Analytics Conference videos
Thoughts prompted from the videos:
It would be possible, at some point with enough effort to game plan a game and run a simulation / produce a full / intact/ realistic 48 minute video of that simulation (or perhaps a pseudo simulation with real video) to show a team in their pre-game prep. And multiple versions: desired, expected, variations for varying possible opponent strategies & tactics.
Obviously there are current ways to look at issues, alternative interactions, sequences but has anyone tied them all together into comprehensive video package?
How many do you make / show to whom? Can you alter or make new by halftime or 1st quarter intermission?
This thought was prompted by a panelist saying that AI could potentially make a version of Fantasia. (Clear rip-off or legally sustainable rip-off?)
Does any team or sports analytics firm (or any type including media) have an AI program to capture select data from Twitter/ whole internet discussion of a sport or ALL OF It (or almost all of it that you consider relevant to play or any aspect of business- image, audience building, etc.)? If you can assemble mass volumes of micro data of player movement, you could / should collect mass volumes of micro data on humans assessing player movements and results.
Several people recently have said that instead of directly using data and analytics from that data with players (and coaches) that you can / should try to "design or re-design the environment". Plenty of thought could go into following up on that concept.
Maybe this is already done... (someone with inside access could say but probably won't), but if you can line up health and safety risks with background impacts of specific playtypes or even just immediate injury events, one could work on optimal play mixes for different player / assets per part of season, career, importance of individual games based on win probability and "need".
Check into Co-Pilot.
I am 2 videos and 2-3 hours in.

RE: Evolution of Basketball Analytics
D Myers got a brief shout-out from Ben Alimar.
Nobody mentioned RAPM.
Lead in about 4 factors starting a revolution but no discussion of whether that revolution continues with RAPM factors and RAPM splits / subfactors.
Nobody went into any detail about moving beyond the small sample / context dependent quandary of kineup data as presented by current lineup management.
Of course no discussion of Championship teams models, for competitive reasons.
No direct mention imof Rodman or other beyond the norm player value cases.
No direct mention of APBRmetrics.
Have aging curves changed? Have aging curves been systematically and deeply incorporated into player acquisition / compensation arenas, playing time decisions, etc.?

what are the 3 biggest weaknesses of the Boston Celtics basketball team?
Copilot
The Boston Celtics, a storied franchise in the NBA, have had their share of strengths and challenges. Let’s delve into their weaknesses:
Lack of Experience: The Celtics’ roster includes talented players like Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown, but they are still relatively young and haven’t clinched an NBA championship yet1. Their inexperience can sometimes impact their decision-making and execution during crucial moments.
Inconsistent Shooting: The team has struggled with inconsistent shooting. While they have moments of brilliance, there are also stretches where their field goal percentages drop, affecting their overall offensive efficiency1. Consistency in scoring is crucial for sustained success in the league.
Defensive Vulnerability: Historically known for their strong defense, the Celtics have faced challenges in recent seasons. Their lackluster defense has resulted in a high defensive rating, which ranks among the league’s worst2. Improving their defensive rotations and communication will be essential for their playoff aspirations.
Despite these weaknesses, the Celtics remain a formidable team with a rich history and a passionate fan base.

I asked it if the minutes weighted average size of the Oklahoma City Thunder is a significant issue for their advancement in 2024 NBA playoffs?
and got a garbage, no value answer.
A sharp, up to date system couldhavel pulled a recent graph and article reference on this topic from twitter.

I guess Co-Pilot or a well-tuned custom version of it could be that AI miner of basketball or basketball analytic comments. If it can be trained to go beyond the surface.
