Lights, Cameras, Revolution

I don't often link to articles not about the NFL or the Eagles, but this one deserves a read. Zach Lowe of Grantland gets an unprecedented inside look at the camera-tracking system used by the NBA's Toronto Raptors to analyze and compute optimal playing styles. I don't want to be that guy who always yells, "This is the future of sports analytics," but it sure is cool.​ Some NFL teams are also experimenting with cameras, GPS, and other similar systems.
