Nylon Calculus — Expected Value in the NBA Draft

Project Focus:

Data Visu­al­iza­tion • Data Analy­sis • R

Project Overview

This past year I start­ed trans­lat­ing my quan­ta­tive sports analy­sis hob­by into free­lance pieces. This piece, Expect­ed Val­ue in the NBA Draft, was fea­tured on one pre­mier NBA Ana­lyt­ics web­sites, Nylon Cal­cu­lus. 

Skills Used

The data was scraped from Bas­ket­ball-Ref­er­ence and the NBA Stats API via R. The visu­al­iz­tions were all cre­at­ed through R’s ggplot2 package
