Powering Smarter Decisions in Basketball
Tracking Data And Performance Insights From The NBA, NCAA and Top International Competitions.
SkillCorner uses AI-powered computer vision to capture player and ball tracking data, advanced events, and physical metrics directly from broadcast video. No in-arena hardware, no wearables, no manual processes.
For player scouting, tracking a player’s position and speed at 25 fps delivers insight that goes beyond the boxscore, allowing deeper evaluation of professional, collegiate, and international players.
One consistent dataset across every league, so prospects can be evaluated on the same terms no matter where they play

XY Tracking Data
Full-court XY tracking for all 10 players at 25 fps plus XYZ ball tracking, all captured from a single broadcast feed. Off-camera player positions are predicted using deep learning for a continuous tracking model you can plug directly into your own analysis, modeling, and workflows.
Event Data
Advanced Play-by-Play Events capture every key offensive and defensive action - shots, fouls, rebounds, and more, enriched by SkillCorner tracking data and models. Every shot includes contest level, closest defender, catch-and-shoot vs. off-the-dribble, release time, shot angle, and shooter speed.
Game Intelligence
Go beyond play-by-play with advanced Dynamic Events including on-ball and off-ball actions like picks, handoffs, off-ball screens, isolations, drives, post-ups, closeouts, cuts, and box outs. Each enriched with contextual attributes like screen quality, defensive coverage, and help involvement. Decode team tactics and evaluate the parts of the game the boxscore can't see.
Advanced Player, Team & Opposition Analysis
Understand every scoring attempt in context
This includes detailed breakdowns of shot type, location, and distance, as well as the positioning of defenders at the moment of release. We also measure release times and identify assist opportunities - helping you evaluate decision-making and scoring efficiency under pressure.
Get a complete picture of an entire possession, including chances
We track every pass, distance, and outcome, while also mapping defender locations relative to both passer and receiver. Possession data is captured at both team and player level, allowing you to monitor flow, usage, and involvement with precision.
Analyse how teams disrupt plays and force mistakes
Our defensive tracking includes matchup assignments, reactions to screen events, and key outcomes such as rebounds, fouls, and turnovers. This allows you to assess defensive structure, individual effort, and how possession changes are generated.
Reveal the timing and positioning behind in-game strategy
We log all screen types and their locations to help decode offensive setups, while also capturing the precise timing of key events - giving full context to team patterns, tempo shifts, and momentum changes throughout the game.
Data Meets Video
SkillCorner makes accessing the tracking and event data easy for your whole staff - no data engineers required.
Player Scouting
Filter, search, and compare players across every competition we cover. Assess strengths and weaknesses side by side, and build custom scatter plots to evaluate prospects across multiple leagues on identical metrics.
Video Player
Search footage by competition, team, player, and event type - shots, picks, passes, drives, and more, to build a clip list in seconds. Every data insight can be checked against the actual play. Save clips to playlists or download them to build reports.
Flexible Delivery
Get data your way: through the hub, via flat files delivered on enterprise-grade AWS infrastructure, or through our API, with full ID synchronization to connect SkillCorner data to your internal systems.
Tracking data has transformed basketball analysis over the last decade in the NBA. Having tracking data for the NCAA and all major international leagues will help us make the most educated decisions regarding the NBA Draft and international free agency.
Access to advanced tracking and event data allows our staff to make smarter, more informed decisions as we continue to look for every competitive advantage in today's game.
The decision to choose SkillCorner was heavily influenced by positive feedback from a number of NBA teams.
FAQ
Front offices, coaching staffs, and analytics departments use SkillCorner data across scouting, recruiting, game preparation, and player development. Because our tracking is generated from broadcast video, teams can evaluate players and opponents in leagues where they have no in-arena tracking of their own, from the NBA and NCAA to EuroLeague and international competitions.
With data on more than 130,000 games dating back to the 2017-18 season, staffs can also look at multi-year trends, track a player's development over time, and build historical comparisons. Teams use it to build scouting reports, identify recruiting and transfer targets, benchmark players against league peers, and answer specific questions their own data can't. For example, the University of Florida Sports Analytics Lab used SkillCorner tracking and event data to build a model that classifies offensive crashing on every shot, which now feeds directly into Florida's scouting reports.
SkillCorner provides three core layers of basketball data:
- XY tracking data: x/y coordinates for all ten players and the ball, captured from broadcast footage.
- Event data: the core actions of every game, such as shots, passes, rebounds, and turnovers, synced to the tracking data so each action has full spatial context.
- Dynamic Events: our contextualized event data, which goes well beyond box score stats. Built on top of tracking, Dynamic Events capture what players do on and off the ball, along with the context around each action, such as player positioning, spacing, and pressure, so teams can understand how a play developed and not just how it ended.
Together, these layers let teams see not only what happened on a play, but where every player was and how the action developed.
Traditional box scores capture outcomes. SkillCorner data captures the context behind them. Teams can measure off-ball movement, spacing, shot quality, defensive positioning, rebounding effort, and passing value, then compare players on a similar basis across leagues and levels. That makes it easier to separate production that's driven by role or teammates from skills that will translate to a new system, which is especially valuable when evaluating transfers, draft prospects, and international players.
SkillCorner's basketball data covers the full range of actions that make up every possession, from core box score events to the on- and off-ball actions captured by Dynamic Events. Because every event is linked to tracking data, each one carries the positions of all players and the ball at that moment. Coverage includes:
Box Outs | Chance Players | Transition Roles | Chances | Touches
Closeouts | Shots | Cuts | Posts | Drives | Possessions | Fouls
Picks | Free Throws | Physical Speed Load | Game Data | Passes
Handoffs | Off-Ball Screens | Isolations | Matchups
This depth is what powers analysis like shot quality, assist value, screen and drive defense, and offensive rebounding behavior.
Yes. In addition to metadata delivered via API or file for teams with their own analytics infrastructure, SkillCorner offers a web platform where staff can explore player and team data, build comparisons, and filter by league, season, and position without writing code. Through our video partnership with Xeatre, data can also be linked to game footage, so staff can move directly from a number to the clips behind it.
