Books

 I purchased 2 books by Stephen Shea last night before I read this, Basketball Analytics: Spatial Tracking and Objective and Effective Strategies to learn how teams win, along with Basketball on Paper: Rules and Tools for Performance Analysis by Dean Oliver.

By what I’ve read, Shea is a guru of analytics and well respected within the NBA community so this read should be beneficial and important for gamblers and scouts alike. And the eye test is a skill that many of us on this site already have to an extent, I’m just trying to dig deeper into how scouts these days use analytics for recruiting and breaking down the game in a different way than what we as fans are used to.
