I'm considering writing my second paper on how analytics has changed the style of play in the NBA and how it has broadened the sport's appeal amongst those who wouldn't normally be considered the typical sports fan. I'm compiling various sources and thoughts here.

Players appear more skeptical of analytics despite the fact that it has radically changed the way they play the game. No one is more opposed to the analytics revolution than Kevin Durant, one of the greatest players of the past decade.

What are the shortcomings of the current data-driven approach? What factors does it fail to capture that contribute to NBA success? (e.g. heart/grit/work ethic/ "believing in yourself")

Will we reach a point were every optimal basketball decision can be calculated? Measure what is measurable, make measurable what is not so.
