Scatterplots are used to show the relationship between two different variables. We'll use a dataset of 2024-2025 NBA player statistics to see if there's a relationship between how many points a player scores and how efficient they are at shooting.
We are looking at PTS (Points Per Game) vs FG% (Field Goal Percentage).
The visualization includes a trendline (or a first order fit) to help us see the overall direction of the relationship.
Hover over different points to see player names and statistics. Identify some players that stand out from the rest (outliers).
