EXCITING NEW STATS or MAN WHAT A NERD

So I spent a good chunk of yesterday screwing around with Excel, and figured out how to import the individual stats from the PL website. Which means now there are lots of exciting things we can do to analyze what's going on in the league.

While I'm working on crunching the numbers, you can download the spreadsheet, with lots of numbers here. (It's a 2MB file, so it may take some time to download) Some of the stats are a little bit esoteric, but you can also sort by shot attempts, three point attempts, uniform number, etc etc for any stat you like, which is pretty basic. Feel free to spread that around. Hopefully someone in a team office somewhere gets it, and can put it to better use than you or I. Maybe whoever those hits I get from sportscenter.american.edu will pass it along. But it's probably just a student in the gym.

I'll have a post up sometime soon (hopefully tonight or tomorrow, depending how quickly I can work my slide ruler) with some insight as to what we can tell so far from the numbers, halfway through the season.   @ 11:56 AM
