More on Basketball Tracking Analytics

Grantland regular contributor Zach Lowe has written frequently about the developing group of teams in the NBA employing SportVu tracking systems for more advanced analytics. In his most recent post (and follow-up) he reveals much about how the Toronto Raptors are utilizing these systems to examine team defence. Defence has long been the final frontier for statistical analysis, with people often citing the intangibles associated with good defence as being unquantifiable. It seems like this sentiment might be changing. Pretty cool.
