I don’t think it is a secret that I am a pretty big basketball fan and a stat geek at that. So when we were assigned a data visualization project I started messing with some data from Doug stats to see what I could make. This visualization builds caricatures based on NBA player stats for the 07-08 season.
Head Size = Shots taken
Head Aspect Ratio = Percent of shots made
Arm length = Blocked shots
Leg Length = Rebounds
Eye Size = Assists
Eye Aspect Ratio = Turnovers
Here is what I have so far.
