Problem

Our team was tasked with analyzing the performance of top 10 NBA players from 2005 to 2015. The main challenge we faced was how to efficiently generate player-specific results for the number of games played, number of field goals scored per game, and salary.

To solve this problem, we needed to find a way to import packages that would allow us to perform scientific computing and data visualization.

Key Approach

Analyzed player data using Python and created functions for generating player-specific results
Collaborated with team members on code development and analysis
Imported NumPy and matplotlib packages for scientific computing and data visualization
Collaborated with team members on code development and analysis

Solution

We decided to use Python for our analysis due to its ease of use and flexibility. We imported NumPy for scientific computing and matplotlib for data visualization. With these packages, we were able to create functions that generated player-specific results quickly and accurately.

Our team also utilized Jupyter Notebook as our coding environment because it allowed us to easily share our code and collaborate in real-time.
