Frequently Asked Questions
-
HoopWise covers all leagues that contain deep level play-by-play data, such as the Euroleague, EuroCup, and Basketball Champions League, top domestic European leagues, as well as the NBA and NCAA.
-
Different. HoopWise is not a video platform or a stat aggregator. It's an evaluation engine — it takes your team's specific identity, playstyle, and tactical context and measures every candidate against that baseline. The output is not "this player is good." It's "this player fits your system, here's why, and here's what changes in your room if you sign them."
-
Most tools rank players by raw performance. Fit Score ranks players by how well their career evidence — weighted by how similar their past environments were to your system — aligns with your team's specific playstyle and playtype needs. A player who excels in a slow, half-court system scores differently for a transition-heavy team than for a control-oriented one. The same player, different context, different score.
-
The platform runs evaluations in real time once your team context is set. For HoopWise Scout — a full expert evaluation of a specific target — turnaround is typically 48 hours. For HoopWise Embed, an analyst is available throughout the transfer window on an agreed schedule.
-
The platform delivers scored shortlists, individual Player Cards with full breakdowns, and contextual reasoning bullets for every score. Expert engagements additionally deliver a written memo: fit rationale, risk flags, tradeoffs, and a prioritised recommendation. Everything is traceable — every score links back to specific lineups, playtypes, and career evidence.
-
Yes. You can run any player in the database through your team's context directly on the platform. If you want an expert interpretation on top of the platform output — what the signals mean, what the risk flags actually imply, whether the fit holds under scrutiny — that's what HoopWise Scout is for.
-
Yes. We offer a scoped pilot — typically one role evaluation or one roster diagnostic — so you can assess the output quality and relevance before a full engagement. Get in touch to scope it.
-
Yes. We offer a live walkthrough using your team's actual data so you see real outputs in your specific context, not a generic demo. Request a demo and we'll set it up.
