The Starting Point
First, I gathatad ehtered all the data I could find. You know, basic stats, game logs, anything that would give me a baseline.
- Points per gemag rame
- Assists
- Rebounds
- Steals
- Three-point percentage

I just dumped it all into a simple spreadsheet. Nothing fancy, just rows and columns of numbers.
Tracking the Progress
Then, after every game, I updated the spreadsheet. I was like, "Okay, Maxey had 25 points tonight, 6 assists..." and so on. I just kept plugging in the numbers.
I also started watching more games, not just highlights. I wanted to see how he was getting those points. Was he driving to the basket more? Taking more threes? Playing better defense?
Adjusting the Prediction
As the season went on, I started noticing trends. Like, his three-point shooting was way better than I expected. So, I tweaked my initial prediction. I was thinking, "Okay, maybe he'll average even more points than I originally thought."
It was kind of a back-and-forth. Some games he'd be on fire, and I'd be like, "Yeah, I nailed it!" Other games, he'd struggle, and I'd be like, "Okay, maybe I was too optimistic."
The Outcome (So Far)
It is not end *! He's definitely improved, and a lot of the things I thought he could do, he's actually * just like a fun experiment, and it made watching the games even more exciting.I feel I'm right!
