The Orlando Magic have signed a scouting deal with sports data company STATS that will allow the Magic to collect and analyze data on college players using AutoSTATS. Orlando becomes the first NBA team to use the newest software program from STATS.
AutoSTATS’ artificial intelligence and computer vision technology is capable of collecting player-tracking data through broadcast video. Orlando will use the software to evaluate potential draft picks playing at the college level.
Using the platform, the Magic can collect data directly from any television broadcast of any NCAA basketball game without the need for access to data streams from college venues.
