Shih-Chieh's final project update

Introduction

I will do a data analysis project. Currently, I am playing an NBA Fantasy game, and I want to use Python to do data analysis so that it can help me to make some decisions.

Progress

I tried to process the CSV file with the packagePandas. It is a widely used package in the Data Science community. Therefore, there are a lot of tutorials and discussions I can reference for how to use this package.

import pandas as pd

df = pd.read_csv('nba_stats_2022-2023.csv')
print(df.head(10))

I think my next move will be implement all the functions in this program.

Roadblocks

The file from the website (https://www.nbastuffer.com/)is in xlsx format. Therefore, I have to convert it to CSV manually. I found that when I read the file it did not show as expected. I will try to fix the issue.
