Research Projects

I have explored several data analyses projects in fantasy and professional sports, including: 

1) Development of predictive NBA fantasy algorithms

  • Individual player projections using total and advanced statistics from basketball-reference

  • Automated lineup generation and optimization for major fantasy sports platforms (e.g., Underdog Fantasy)

2) Historical team and individual performance comparisons across different eras (e.g., settling the "GOAT" debate)

  • Analysis of team metrics (net ratings, efficiencies, SOS, SRS, MOV)

 

  • Comparisons of individual metrics (PER, VORP, BPM) across eras (LeBron vs. Jordan) and within eras (e.g., Jordan's regular season/playoff opponents' metrics)
