In the second episode we discuss two papers by our guest Daniel Daly-Grafstein and Luke Bornn: Rao-Blackwellizing field goal percentage (published in JQAS and available at: http://www.lukebornn.com/papers/dalygrafstein_jqas_2019.pdf) and Using In-Game Shot Trajectories to Better Understand Defensive Impact in the NBA (available at: https://arxiv.org/pdf/1905.00822.pdf).

Daniel is currently a soccer data analyst at Sportlogiq, an sports AI company that, in soccer, focuses on generating tracking data using computer vision. The papers discussed in this episode were part of Daniel’s Master's degree in statistics at Simon Fraser University. In the fall Daniel is going to be starting his PhD in Statistics at the University of British Columbia.
