VERY excited for this

Diving into the world of international talent evaluation, I have seen a HUGE need for something like this

Seems like the same 10 players in the US get talked about by everyone and nobody knows these foreign stars until they show up on campus

This is GREAT

@djbdarren @NCAABuzzerBters @TheHoopHerald Yeah it’s a bit wonky right now. As we keep feeding our algorithm new data it will become sharper and sharper

[World Basketball Scouting @WorldBBScouting]

@MakenaDietschy @NCAABuzzerBters @TheHoopHerald A piece that is boosting a lot of the 2010 born players in Africa is actually that those players are facing U18 talent in highly rated countries compared to the European players facing U16 talent

@MakenaDietschy @NCAABuzzerBters @TheHoopHerald We understand this, we have a league difficulty index that is calibrated on over 295,000 player seasons across 341 leagues to determine relatively difficulty of each league, rewarding those who play harder competition.

[World Basketball Scouting @WorldBBScouting]

@MakenaDietschy @NCAABuzzerBters @TheHoopHerald The data is constantly being updated on our site. Admittedly we are having the most difficulty accurately rating the youngest players due to their minimal data. This isn’t an absolute order, it’s constantly updating as we refine our algorithm (not AI) and take in more data

7-foot-9 Olivier Rioux just played his first games for UC Irvine after transferring from Florida. @Oli_Rioux showed immediate effectiveness in 16 minutes for the Anteaters.
16:42 MIN
9 PTS (4/6 FG | 1/2 FT)
11 Rebounds
5 Offensive Rebounds
2 Assists (1 turnover)
1 Block
20 +/- (2nd best on team)

It will certainly be fun to watch how @ucimbb utilizes the tallest College Basketball player of all time. Rioux is a Redshirt-sophomore with 3 years of eligibility left.
