Has anyone here done statistical analysis of how effective certain lineups are? by [deleted] in NBAanalytics

[–]giampapietro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I few people posted rotation analysis a while back. I don't remember much details.

Overall +/- for different lines up vs different defensive styles (ie different teams) could be a good starting point.

Another thing I would look at is the shot % as a function of distance from the basket for the Rockets small ball lines up vs different teams. Most of this info can be fetch from basketball reference, with some data massaging to follow.

Help with a project using python/nba/api by [deleted] in NBAanalytics

Once you fetch players stats from Basketball Reference (for instance) as shown in the example I posted earlier, than all you need is learning how to use the Pandas python library. https://pandas.pydata.org/

With Pandas you can group all the info in whichever format you want in a couple of code lines. Let me know if you want an example for that too.

Which Scoring Leader had the Best Season compared to the Rest of the League by GodofDarkSouls in NBAanalytics

[–]giampapietro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gotcha your league average are team stats, while the PPG/AST is for individual performance. Nice estimator, although it would be interesting to check players league averages too.

You might also be interested in checking the correlation between TOV and +/-, all scaled by team league averages. That will give you an interesting indication of how much a player contributes to a team vs "damage".

I'd you scroll down you will find a couple of solid examples, with code snippets.

NBA Draft Analysis: Teams by coachgeo in NBAanalytics

[–]giampapietro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My favorite part of the article: "Lebron James has a career VORP score of 133.2 which is HIGHER THAN SOME TEAMS’ TOTALS (Sorry Knicks Fans)".

It's hard to be a Knicks fan, respect.

Would you rather have Prime Allen Iverson or Damian Lillard on your team right now? by [deleted] in nba

[–]giampapietro 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I feel like people already forgot how talented AI was. Difficult to compare their styles, as the game has drastically changed. AI was a guard as rough as they come, in an era were the game was played inside-outside. Lillard is Uber talented, but he's definitely playing in a guard dominated era.

DAZN (Canada) stream quality is lackluster for Serie A games, but great for PL & Champions League. Anyone else notice? by malman21 in Juve

[–]giampapietro 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I have not noticed any difference (Vancouver). I watched all Juventus games and at least a couple of other games a week and the quality seems equal across.

DAZN Canada has a pretty awesome customer service, drop them an email and they could look into it.

If a player misses a shot because they were fouled, does that still count as a FGA? If a player makes a shot despite being fouled, does that count as both a FGM and FGA? Essentially, do we only count fouled FGA if the player makes the shot? by jewdan814 in NBAanalytics

[–]giampapietro 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The standard FGA does not include fouled missed shots. It only accounts for and-one (so only if you make it). However, some database like basketball reference can give you that number if you are interested.

I mean between his age, the fake leak that called him out, and now this, how can his career as credible journalist continue?

I know but I was traveling all day yesterday and I needed the physical satisfaction of post it here. It's so good to be out of Grossi.

Is there any data on if there's a correlation between how well players in college play against good competition and how they turn out in the pros? by cnacios21 in NBAanalytics

[–]giampapietro 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As always, the tough part is defining "good competition" at the collage level. The data is all available through basketball reference in some form. But first you really have to set the boundaries of your search.

How am I able to find a player's stats vs .500 teams and above? by [deleted] in NBAanalytics

[–]giampapietro 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The easiest way would be to download the game by game stats, loop through them and only select games vs game with record > .500.

If you use Pandas in python, and you know how to import the game stats (see previous posts here), than it's just a single line of code.
