What Types of Basketball Shots Can KINEXON COMPETE Vision Improve?
From layups to three-pointers, the types of shots in basketball that players take continues to evolve. But now coaches can use KINEXON COMPETE Vision to analyze practice and game videos to help improve the shots their players take from anywhere on the floor. Here’s how.
COMPETE Vision uploads your practice or game video to the KINEXON sports app. Artificial intelligence takes over from there. AI provides a deep analysis of each player, including where they are most comfortable shooting and how they handle contested shots.
We recently held a masterclass in basketball analytics using KINEXON COMPETE Vision. You can watch it on-demand by clicking the link below.
Types of Basketball Shots COMPETE Vision Improves
One of the best features COMPETE Vision offers is a brand-new metric exclusive to KINEXON called “Shot Load.”
For each shot taken, COMPETE Vision (with the help of AI) calculates the effort exerted by the player in the 10 seconds preceding the shot, termed as the “Shot Load.” We have learned that this significantly impacts almost every shot a player takes.
By analyzing your practice and game videos, you can determine what types of shots in basketball are best in any given situation after getting your shot load statistics.
Here are some ways to improve any type of basketball shot through COMPETE Vision analysis.
Making Breakaway Layups and Contested Basketball Shots
Layups are supposed to be easy, but that is not always the case. Breakaways happen, but players are often asked to make contested layups that result in an “And 1.”
KINEXON’s shot load metric allows coaches to measure intensity levels during games to create shooting drills in practice, similar to the demands of a game. It’s important to mimic the intensity of the shots taken in practice that are taken in a game. Coaches must avoid practice shots that are taken with little effort (Low Shot Load). This helps coaches to understand which players shoot well in games when they must work harder (Medium or High Shot Load situations).
Jump Shot Accuracy
A fundamental shot for any player, the jump shot involves the player jumping and releasing the ball at the peak of their jump. It is commonly used for tracking and improving mid-range and outside shots. Proper form and a consistent shooting motion are critical for accuracy.
COMPETE Vision data highlights four pivotal aspects that can enhance an offensive strategy:
- Number of Shots Taken
- Distribution of Shot Locations
- Precision of Shots
- Shot Intensity (Shot Load)
The significance of such precise feedback is immense.
By measuring the number of basketball shots emulating in-game scenarios, evaluating the distribution based on their location, and pinpointing accuracy rates in different zones, coaches and players can refine their training methods, enhancing on-court performance during games.
Knocking Down Three-Pointers
This is one of the types of shots in basketball that is changing the game. With players like Stephen Curry revolutionizing its usage, the three-pointer has become a game-changer, allowing teams to quickly rack up points and close significant gaps. And now, with the help of AI, coaches can find their most deadly shooters from beyond the arc.
KINEXON’s COMPETE Vision gives a simple picture of where players are shooting from on the court. If a team is not scoring well during a game, coaches can quickly look back at past practices. They can check if players practiced enough shots from different spots.
This shot map helps compare what players do in practice versus games, making it easier to see what needs to change. It is a handy way to see where players are shooting from.
