Description

Pitch

Summary

I found NBA player salaries on ESPN's site, and I'd like to link it with some performance data. I'm certain Stephen Curry is underpaid for how many points he scores per game.

It would be like this chart but with salary on the y-axis and points on the x-axis

Details

Possible headline(s): The NBA's Most Underpaid Players

Data set(s): NBA salary data and NBA performance data

Code repository: https://github.com/jsoma/sample-pages/tree/master/code/a-very-cool-project

Possible problems/fears/questions: I don't actually know anything about basketball so this is going to be difficult

Work so far

Tip: To upload an image, just drag it onto the text area.

I've opened the data, cleaned it, done a little plotting, and come up with this ugly graph:
