Hi friends, hope you’ve been well. When trying to dive deep into the WNBA, I found a void where I wanted advanced analytics tools to be. I built a site that tries to communicate the previously-unquantified impact in WNBA basketball. This is Help the Helper helpthehelper.vercel.app

Hi friends. No easy way to say this: my girlfriend has lymphoma, a cancer that may kill her. It’s a recurrence of the cancer she battled in 2024. I’ve started a gofundme to help cover her extensive medical bills, likely to last a few years. I’ll put the link and more info below

The Rise and Fall of Heliocentrism? The number of players who self-create 70+% of their FGM peaked in the second half of the 2010s, but it has decreased significantly in the last seasons. But what are the reasons behind this trend? Let's dive into it...

19-5 run for the Spurs to open Q2 and the Hawks now trail by 8. Truly baffled by the decision to play an extended stint without Daniels or NAW on the court, particularly with Fox on for San Antonio.

The NBA Sophomore rankings. - The #1 pick is moving up, but a long way to go to get to the top. - The top 5 include only two lottery picks - Clingan and Castle - Jaylen Wells has declined most, from -0.3 last year. Avg improvement is +1.5 across players.

Newell (#14 in white) spends most of his time on offense screening, sealing, flashing, diving and crashing. Key to this is his developing midrange counter, up to 22 for 51 (43%) on hooks and runners.
