How Much Velocity Does Off-Ball Space Value Need? A Broadcast-Viewport Benchmark

The paper investigates how different velocity regimes affect broadcast‑viewport basketball analytics. Using a calibrated off‑screen imputation protocol, it compares four velocity settings—none, viewport‑legal observed, true‑for‑visible, and true‑for‑all—against a velocity‑aware ground truth across three analytical layers. Results show that velocity is largely useless for imputation, modestly useful for the control surface, and minimally useful for final team verdicts, with the visible channel providing the most benefit.
