Okay, so I was messing around with NBA data again last night, specifically trying to get a better handle on Victor Wembanyama’s recent performance. You know, the hype is real, but I wanted to see the actual numbers behind it.
First thing I did was hop onto my usual data source – gotta keep that hush-hush, you know? – and pulled Wemby’s game logs. I knew I wanted his stats from the last 10 games, so I filtered the data accordingly. That part was pretty straightforward.
Next came the fun part: cleaning up the data. Man, you wouldn’t believe the junk you sometimes get. Empty fields, weird characters, stuff like that. I spent a good half hour just making sure everything was in the right format – points as integers, percentages as decimals, all that jazz.
Then I started calculating some averages. Points, rebounds, assists, blocks…the whole shebang. I even threw in some more advanced stats like true shooting percentage and usage rate. Figured those would give a more complete picture. Had to write a few quick formulas in my spreadsheet program to handle those calculations.
Here’s a rough breakdown of what I found:
- Points per game: Around 22. Not bad, kid’s got potential.
- Rebounds per game: Hovering around 10. Solid.
- Blocks per game: This is where things got interesting. Averaging almost 4! Dude’s a monster defensively.
I also wanted to see if there were any trends. Was he improving over those 10 games? Was his shooting getting better? So, I plotted the data on a few charts. Nothing too fancy, just line graphs showing his stats over time.
Turns out, his scoring was a little inconsistent, but his rebounding and blocks were pretty steady. His efficiency, though, that seemed to be trending upwards a bit. Maybe he’s just getting more comfortable out there. Who knows.
Finally, I compared his last 10 games to his season averages. And wouldn’t you know it, his scoring, rebounding, and blocks were all up compared to his overall season stats. So yeah, he’s definitely been playing better recently.
My conclusion? Wemby is the real deal. He’s got the talent, he’s got the work ethic, and he’s getting better every game. Keep an eye on this kid, he’s gonna be a superstar.
And that’s pretty much it. Just a quick dive into Wemby’s recent performance. Next time, maybe I’ll compare him to some other rookies…gotta keep those ideas flowing!
