2021 NBA Draft Lottery Prospects

Context

Created a dataset to better identify predictors in prospect statistical profiles for NBA success. Decided on measurable and advanced metric data as the foundation for feature engineering.

Content

Data is acquired from a collection of verified and reputable sports websites (see metadata section). The statistics for each player are for their most recent season of basketball, in order to capture the most likely dvelopment and playstyle for each player.

Inspiration

My intention for this data is to label player archetypes and see how compatiable each players' playstyle is with their archetype.
