Project 1: NBA Player Scoring Analysis

This project examines the NBA's top PPG leaders from the 2018 to 2024 season, aiming to identify the primary factors driving scoring efficiency among the league's top 50 players. This project aimed to answer two key questions: What are the primary factors that influence a player's points per game (PPG), and who have been the most efficient scorers in the NBA over the past five seasons?"

Project Overview

The analysis focused on metrics such as PPG, FG%, and 3PT%. The goal was to explore changes in scoring efficiency and style over time, understand which player characteristics contribute to higher scoring, and visualize those trends in an interactive Power BI dashboard.

Key Insights

Patterns were uncovered, showing how scoring efficiency has evolved. A regression analysis tells us that free throws and three-point percentage play the largest role in determining PPG. Correlations between FG%, 3PT%, and usage rate were visualized, revealing how players maintain efficiency under high volume.

Tools Used

Power BI for dashboards and interactivity, R for statistical modeling and web scraping. These tools allowed for an in-depth view of the trends across six NBA seasons.
