Python/Pandas/Matplotlib/JSON
Project to create shot charts for all NBA players within all NBA seasons in the NBA API. Using JSON requests from the NBA API to build a Pandas data frame with all our relevant data. Create our court and hexbin gradients based on Pandas data with Matplotlib.
Iteration 1 Solely based on field goal attempts for the player compared to the league.
Iteration 2 Based on Grantland-style shot charts. Accounts for both field goal attempts and made field goals from the player vs. league average. Larger hexagon = more attempts. Red hexagon = more makes.
