ICE Basketball

I'm a Minnesota sports team fan so you'll see a lot of Timberwolves and Vikings players in these screenshots. This is a profile page for NBA and college basketball players and teams. While leveraging STATS unique data and analysis, there is a lot of information that needs to be presented in a logical and orderly way on this page.

Using military technology, STATS has a unique way of tracking activity and events on the basketball court. In this design, we have been able to visualize the coordinate data into an easily readable format, by including the court graphic with heat map overlay and a data table accompanying it. Data is exportable to PDF and Excel for easy offline viewing.

While also serving as a data and analysis tool, ICE also allows NBA scouts the ability to input their scouting information for specific events (practice, games, game film, etc.). Scouts begin by selecting the player they wish to input data for, then select the date of the event. If the event was a scheduled game, the boxscore data populates automatically and the player statistics show whether they are above or below their average. Scouts are able to input text for strengths, weaknesses, and summary for the event and also assign unique player ratings for the player's performance. A lot of information to digest here!

Team scouts and trainers also have the ability to input player activity over a given period. In this section, the player's performance overview is graphically represented using a jQuery plugin to display the information over a specified date range. The full screen presentation of the graph allows the scout to easily read the information over a full season.

This page is a team summary of player activity that has been entered by scouts and trainers to better understand how the player performs under certain training loads. For example, if a player has back to back games and plays a significant amount of minutes, the team personnel can view what kind of effect that has on their performance.
