The NBA Data Scientist

15/12/202225 Comments

With her PhD in math, Ivana Seric had expected to wind up with a career in academia—but thanks to the growing use of statistical analysis in the NBA, she took a job with the Philadelphia 76ers instead. As a data scientist, she helps the team’s coaches devise smarter strategies to win. Next Jobs is a mini-documentary series about careers of the future hosted by Bloomberg Technology’s Aki Ito.

    2 minute time: Team A takes 12 three pointers only and makes 3 shots for 9 points 25%. Team B takes 12 two points and makes 6 plus 2 fouls and they make 3 out of 4 foul shots. Team B has 15 points. Even if you give Team A another three they have 12 points. Team B still wins and Team A shot 33% from three which is close to avg. The point is it matters who is tanking the threes and who is taking the FGs, not just a matter of stats, it’s both

    Of course, CNBC woke agenda will make it appear as if this was a one person effort. Because highlighting her colleagues contribution will only diminish your narrative.
