A Play Designer Trained on 632 NBA Games
An interactive basketball possession simulator that lets you arrange players, choose offensive and defensive strategies, and receive a model-generated shot grade.
Why it surfaced
Basketball Tactics uses SportVU data from the 2015–16 season, covering 632 games, to simulate possessions from a user-built half-court setup. Its unusually explicit provenance—and its warning that each result is a simulation rather than a guarantee—gives this tactical toy more substance than a generic play-drawing board.
