Optimizing performance in Basketball: A Game-Theoretic Approach to Shot Percentage Distribution in a team

TL;DR

This paper introduces a game-theoretic method to optimize shot distribution among basketball players to maximize team scoring potential.

Contribution

It presents a novel approach applying network flow game theory to determine optimal shot percentage distribution in basketball teams.

Findings

Effective shot distribution strategies improve scoring efficiency.

Game-theoretic models can optimize team performance.

Potential for strategic adjustments based on opponent analysis.

Abstract

In this paper, we propose a shot percentage distribution strategy among the players of a basketball team to maximize the score that can be achieved by them. The approach is based on the concepts of game theory related to network flow.
