USA ruled 2022, but in #EuroBasket2025 Germany leads, and the scoring crown finally sticks to Europe.

Note: country = player’s first passport (as listed by their last club).

📊 3. League-wide bench-marking

We don't use vague labels like "above average".

We compare every zone performance to every other player or team in the league.
You’ll know who really dominates a spot - and who’s just mediocre.

3StepsBasket @3stepsbasket.com · Jun 8

📍 2. Court zones

Shots are grouped into 11 consistent spots - so you don't get any blurry heat-map.
You get clean, structured data to actually compare across players or teams in the spots that matter.

3StepsBasket @3stepsbasket.com · Jun 8

🔍 1. Multiple stat modes

You can analyze:
⚪️ Shooting %
⚪️ Made shots
⚪️ Attempted shots (volume)
⚪️ Assisted baskets (made after a pass - this one’s gold!)

Choose what matters for your case: efficiency, volume, or role context.

🚨🆕 Just launched what I believe is the most advanced shooting analysis tool on the market.

It goes way beyond what you're used to - and probably beyond what you thought was possible. It also supports 18 competitions.

Let me show you why 🧵

So those super-inflated assist numbers and perfectly "clean" baskets don't come from a coaching strategy, but from a tracking problem!
It's also the reason why it takes a bit longer for the LNB games to be uploaded to 3StepsBasket website (clean up first)🤷‍♂️

3StepsBasket @3stepsbasket.com · Jun 2

Of course, we did the deep dive for you, to reveal this new strategy.
The results?
LNB started counting assists for both the basket AND the free throw when a player gets an "and-one" foul (see screenshot).
Yeap.
They're systematically double-counting assists on those plays. 😂

3StepsBasket @3stepsbasket.com · Jun 2

During the playoffs, many players are logging an increased number of assists. It's as if players are operating on a higher plane of unselfishness and precision.
Simply incredible.

3StepsBasket @3stepsbasket.com · Jun 2

Prepare yourselves, basketball analytics world.
The #BetclicElite has quietly revolutionized the game - and they even did it during playoffs time.
It seems that the coaches have unlocked unprecedented levels of team play and offensive efficiency.
It's truly a paradigm shift. 🤯🇫🇷

The impact of Rudy Gobert on Minnesota’s defense is massive.

Opponents’ FG% in the paint:
✋ With Rudy: 53%
🗑️ Without Rudy: 60%

📊 The rolling EuroLeague efficiency landscape!

Crazy how Partizan and Efes are not in the top standings spots despite their efficiency.

EuroLeague offensive and defensive rating.
I think that Olympiacos and Panathinaikos really love each other.
❤️💚 They have been standing side-by-side since the beginning of the season (actually since last season).
