NBA Scoring Analysis Overview

Home Scoring Table Analysis Page

Background Information:

This project was created to look at the top 10 scoring leaders in the NBA. While these players all score a lot of points, they do it in very different ways. Some rely on shooting many three-pointers, while others score more efficiently from inside the paint.

Main Goal: To compare offensive volume (total points) against shooting efficiency (FG%) and see who provides the most value.

Core Data Assertions:

1. High point totals do not always mean the player is shooting a high percentage.

For example, Luka Doncic leads the league in points but has a lower shooting percentage than Nikola Jokic.

2. Three-point attempts (3PA) change the ranking.

Stephen Curry attempts the most three-pointers, which makes his scoring style unique compared to the other top leaders.
