Hi all,
Working on a project to see if there is a way to predict a drafted player's VORP based on a few factors, namely: Past success, potential, and situation.
Past success: College WS/48, College PER
Potential: Height differential (set against position average), Wingspan differential (set against position average), Age
Situation: College program ranking, NBA Position (G, F, C), draft position
Essentially, I want to see how each of these correlate with a player's career VORP and to what extent. Right now, I'm having a hard time getting all the data together. I can find the majority on BBreference, SportsReference, and DraftExpress, but getting all the data is proving to be a pain. For example, I'd love to pull career VORP, draft position, position, college, age at draft from BB reference, but I can't find a way to get all the data in the same table to export. Any ideas on how I would go about doing this outside looking for every single data point?
Thanks!

Probably best to use Python and BeautifulSoup if you can learn how to code (Python's the easiest language to learn)

On a similar note, the player season finder on sports-reference cbb doesn't seem to work for advanced stats that can go negative. Whenever I want to include players with negative values, it just resets the search page. Anyone have a solution?
