LakersShooting.py:
Read in Lakers individual per game and shooting data from 2021/22 season, removed players with few games played. Downloaded player headshots from Bball-Ref and added paths for Python to point to for logo plotting. Defined "getImage" function that pulls each of the images before the plot is created.
Plot shows mid-range shooting percentages against the percent of shots a player takes that are mid-range, using headshots for the data points.
Final for loop adds the images onto the data points that were pulled from the getImage fn.
Data used:lakersPerGame.csv and lakersShooting.csv.
