Our own Nathan Grubel shares his personal philosophy around the elements of basketball analysis and why each pillar isn't more important than the next.
When using analytics; or "The Eye Test" Does the analysis also take into account when a player is double or triple teamed when getting off a shot or a last second shot clock shot? Or just getting double teamed. That's when "The Eye Test" is a true indicator of the Offensive Players ability to knock down shots.
Or on 3 point shooting; Is the shot a wide open uncontested 3...which shows a better shooting % as opposed to a contested 3 pt shot which is a lower %.
Analytics is like Bean Counters; "The Eye Test" is the real deal on what you get on the floor.
Your points are exactly why I use a blend and look for context when trying to actually solve a basketball problem. It’s exactly why I wrote what I did.
