Quantitative Methods Assignment - Project: Basketball Player Pitch

1. Goal -

Your team is being considered as the potential agent for the assigned player. To get the job, the player asks your team to make a 15-minute pitch to:

1. Show his past performance using appropriate data visualizations;

2. Show his fair market value for next year salary; and

3. Suggest two areas of improvement to help improve his market value.

The objective here, of course, is to provide a convincing analysis for a fair market value based on his performance statistics, and not just a high salary! In other words, you will be expected to use some statistical analysis to justify your goal.

Start thinking about this now, and noting down concepts and tools that we learn about in class, to aid you in your analysis!

2. Data -

There are several data sources for basketball data.

The nature of the internet results in some or all of the above sites being defunct. If that is the case, please do your own research, and please share with your classmates any websites you find that are good data sources for player game stats and salary.

3. Deliverables -
