Introducing NBA WOWY!

I'll make this short and sweet. As some of you know, I've spent the last few months moving my codebase over to a new database framework. After finishing that I decided that there was so much good stuff in there, that I needed to make some of it public. NBA WOWY! (nbawowy.com) — pronounced Wow-ee! — is the result.

The basic idea is that it lets you select any combination of players on or off the court and calculate the stats for all the other players. Right now, it's only got a few basic shooting stats, but much more is to come.

Update (Apr. 6): Ok, a few months later now, and here's a couple more recent screenshots:

Update (Jan. 6): The site now has a much fuller suite of stats, including turnovers, assists, and rebounding. More to come...

Updated screen shot.

Think of this as the "beta" version, and you can be my very first beta testers.

Let me know what you think. My e-mail address is given at the bottom of the site. I'm interested to know what features you'd like to see added, in terms of both data and usability. Also, if you find bugs, please let me know.

Here's a quick tutorial. Let's say I want to know what the Warriors shoot when David Lee is on the court. I simply select Warriors from the team menu:

Then I select David Lee from the "ON" menu in the green box and hit the "+" button to add him to the list (which is empty at first):

After adding Lee, I click on the "Submit" button to run the query:

Then I just wait for the results (which should hopefully not take more than a few seconds to calculate):

To re-run a new (different) query with a different filter, simply clear the list of players or add new ones or both. You can search literally any combination of players on or off the court. That's the whole point!

Anyway, that's pretty much all there is to it. Have fun and keep watching the site as I will periodically rollout updates.
