A weird incident took place ahead of tonight's season opener between the San Antonio Spurs and Dallas Mavericks. A Spurs fan, who claimed they were in the same hotel as the Mavs in San Antonio, leaked Dallas' scouting report for Wednesday's game.
The fan posted images of the scouting reports, which include each player's stats and the way they play on both ends.

I guess the debate is closed, they call Victor a "forward".

It is 5 pages long available that you can check out in reddit https://www.reddit.com/r/NBASpurs/comments/17g7c1z/entire_scouting_report_for_dal_vs_sa_10252023/

They also call him a "C" :lol

[spurraider21]

they've identified Zach Collins (specifically on pick and rolls), Tre Jones, and Doug McDermott as the guys to target and attack

It's funny, but on Sochan's profile, it says "don't foul", but he's listed as the 4th best player to foul on the summary page, based on last year's FT%, overall.

The summary table for FTs is just ranking the spurs on their FT%. Maybe there are oppurtunities for Hack a Shaq or you just really need to send someone to the FT line so those are the guys you should foul in order.

For the Sochan profile- I think the context is do not foul while Sochan is cutting as the preferred way to defend. It may suggest that Sochan is good at fishing out fouls in those situations or just expected to miss when defended without fouling

Also for analytics sake
3pt shot at about 40% is 1.2 pts on average
2pt shot at about 50% is 1.0 pt on average. The nearer to the basket - the easier the shot. The perimeter ones just below 3pt is lower percentage so it is discouraged.
2 free throws at about 70% league average is 1.4 pts
(and ones - 2pts + 0.7 pt from FT = 2.7pts
3pth and ones - 3pts + 0.7 pt from FT = 3.7pts)

From that information- it should be obvious what kind of baskets a team should make their opponents take more (long twos).

"Don't foul" is my favorite strategy. So long as you tell players "don't foul", then they won't foul. Works every time.

think its more along the lines of forcing him to make the turnaround instead of bailing him out. you have to be a truly awful FT% for free throws to be worse than a typical FGA (notwithstanding layups in transition, etc)

shooting 50% from the field on a 2PA is 1 point per possession. getting 2 FT's at 50% from the line is also 1 point per possession. he shoots about 70% from the line

Yup. Teams would never choose to leave a 40% 3-point shooter wide open, but giving two FTs to a 60% FT shooter is the same in terms of efficiency.

As long as he only photographed them, and did put them back, he should be OK.

gets into unpublished copyright/trade secret territory when publishing them, not that id think the mavs would really do anything

I blame the Mavs for just leaving those outside of the doors. How hard could it have been to just slide them under the door, or pass them out on the team bus?

Or to text them to player's phones. Either the Mavs are stupid or they didn't his themselves.

Yep, these hotels have no trouble sliding my bill under the door, these scouting reports definitely would have fit :lol

[Fizziksman]

Mavs playing mind games

[Leetonidas]

Wtf :lol is sliding the scouting report under the hotel room door the night before a game common practice? This sounds like some D tier league bullshit

They left them in the fucking hallway of the hotel. At least push them under the door.

[JPB]

It's 2023 and you're telling me they just can't text that stuff to the guys? Or give them tablets like in the NFL.
