Players and/or Coaches Using SportVU Data

Post by miabbett »

Does anyone know of specific examples where any players and/or coaches have used SportVU data to change something in their game? I'm just wondering if there are any concrete examples where the data has influenced what happens on the court. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I do know of a high profile player who is subscribing to the Vantage data, not sure I can say who though. May be a bit vague but I'm sure that player is using the data to change/improve on his game.

The Raptors are using it now that Masai is in charge. Apparently the Warriors group figured out an algorithm for play recognition, which the Rockets and Cavs are (were?) working on. I'm pretty sure the Wizards and Pacers have used it to implement changes in-game. Should be at least a few teams that haven't revealed things publicly, as well as a few teams that aren't using it at all.

The Raptors were using it even in the Colangelo era, as that's when the Zach Lowe piece came out.

They weren't actually implementing anything at the time though. Didn't really have any decision-making influence in the Colangelo era.
