An SI guy Ballard did a piece on these types of trainers. About using tech to predict injuries and working to avoid them.

Here it is LINK


I was looking for that article a few weeks ago. This team HAS to invest in better preventive care like that. For those of you that haven't read it, it's really an interesting read

Welcome to the next frontier in sports information: predictive injury analysis. As recently as five years ago no NBA team had a sports scientist on staff. Now a half-dozen do, though some go by different titles, and many of those hires occurred in the last year. One club even posted a job listing on LinkedIn.


I'll go out on a limb and say we aren't one of those 6 teams

That Sixers ESPN piece from the other day was fascinating in this way. They appear to be all over this type of data gathering and analysis. Players wear tracking devices during practice, they review after shootarounds, etc. Very impressive and interesting, if also a little creepy.

Ryno for Jason Thompson and Stauskas (seems low value, but not sure if Ryno is enough to get a 1st thrown in too)
Stauskas for Gerald Green


Yeah. I'd almost rather take Stauskas. Even though he has been completely lost this year, you've still got that rookie control.
