Default SportVU sports analysis, analyzes and shows where players should be

Haven't read it yet, just skimmed it, but looks interesting!

The most important innovation in the NBA in recent years is a camera-tracking system, known as SportVU, that records every movement on the floor and spits it back at its front-office keepers as a byzantine series of geometric coordinates. Fifteen NBA teams have purchased the cameras, which cost about $100,000 per year, from STATS LLC; turning those X-Y coordinates into useful data is the main challenge those teams face.

Read elsewhere that they're working on hockey, would be interested if the Flames are looking at this.

Pretty cool stuff. Interesting to note that LeBron James often outperforms the 'ideal' performance. That guy is ridiculous.
