Vivek Ranadive, TIBCO CEO and Sacramento Kings owner, is no stranger to
beating the odds.
When he first moved from India to the US, he had less than $100 in his
pocket. Yet, he still managed to find his way through graduating MIT and
Harvard with a master’s degree.
...
Using TIBCO’s technology, Ranadive has applied the same big data-approach
to the Kings’ player management. So instead of just drilling down box
scores and regular stats, the Kings collect in-game data from six different
overhead cameras, and analyze everything from player combination and spacing
to shot clock usage and shot selection.
“We looked at 30 gigs of data last season, which is more than what existed
in the entire history of NBA before that,” Ranadive told Business Insider.
And the impact is already starting to show. For example, when the Kings
traded for Rudy Gay just 18 games into the season last year, he was shooting
an awful 38% from the field. He was considered overrated with a bloated
contract. But the Kings went through the past six years worth of data and
analyzed on all the stats collected from Gay’s performance. Just two months
later, Gay was shooting 58%, with five less shot attempts, and still
averaging more points per game. Gay even made it to this summer’s USA
basketball team. |
