Example - Vector Recommendations With NBA Players

With the growth of the NBA quickly introducing new way to calculate statistics that are human-calculated, it doesn’t make much sense to keep this using traditional human-orientated approaches and judgements based on players.

Here, we want to be able to identify players that have similar statistics to other players without having to look at each statistic line by line. We want to just know.

Below, we investigate the different players and their most similar counterparts as well as examine the efficiencies between the different players.

Interesting how much of an outlier Kawhi Leonard is when the stats are per 36 minutes (an important normalisation method to ensure consistent comparison across players).
