Since the 2013-14 season, the NBA has used player-tracking technology to collect all kinds of interesting data, including a player’s average speed, distance traveled, number of touches and more.

Second Spectrum is the NBA’s “official optical tracking provider,” and they’ve installed a player-tracking system in the catwalk of every NBA arena. Using multiple cameras, state-of-the-art machine learning and computer-vision techniques, the software identifies and locates every player and the ball 25 times per second. If something happens on the court, the player-tracking system catches it, and the data gets uploaded to NBA.com.

That’s how we know that five players — Mikal Bridges, Miles Bridges, Tyrese Haliburton, Tyrese Maxey and Scottie Barnes — ran more than 200 miles throughout the course of last season. And for the second-straight season, Fred VanVleet led all players in average distance traveled, running 2.82 miles per game. 

Which players are currently covering the most distance this season? And which players have the fastest and slowest average speed? Let’s take a look:

Clearly, a player's role and their team's style of play influence how many miles they're running each game.
