Basketball Intelligence now has a second home. Starting today, BI also appears on Basketball Atlas (basketballatlas.com), a global basketball stats and scouting site covering 500,000+ pro players in 600+ leagues. Nothing changes about how you get BI. Free stories stay free there, and the full edition is still for paid subscribers. And if a story sends you looking for a player you’ve never heard of, the Atlas is a good place to find him.
