Using real player data, the program students are required to create must display Top 10 data for total points scored, total minutes played, total rebounds, and total efficiency.

Recommendations

This is Homework 9 of a introduction to computing course in Python. HW 8: Tracking the Greats of the NBA- Design Version, should be done before this assignment. See sequencing in the syllabus and course schedule. Additional guidelines for student success on this assignment and throughout the course can be found in the syllabus. Consider allowing students to use data from the WNBA (Women's National Basketball Association) as a way to potentially broaden the interest of students.

Engagement Highlights
