load_wnba_stats_leaguedash: Load wehoop WNBA Stats League Dashboard cube

Description

Loads one asset of the wnba_stats_leaguedash release tag -- the Python-scraped leaguedash* parameter cube that supersedes the old R-scraped player / team / lineups / standings tags. The cube publishes 24 tables per season and is the full surface behind the compatibility reshapes in load_wnba_stats_player_stats(), load_wnba_stats_team_stats(), load_wnba_stats_lineups() and load_wnba_stats_standings(); several tables (player_bio, *_master, team_stats_fourfactors, the non-5-man and non-Base/Advanced lineups_* measures) are reachable only through this function.

Usage

load_wnba_stats_leaguedash(
  seasons = most_recent_wnba_stats_season(),
  table = NULL,
  ...,
  dbConnection = NULL,
  tablename = NULL
)

Value

Returns a wehoop_data tibble of the requested cube table, one row per player-season, team-season or lineup-season depending on table. Column sets differ per table; the *_master tables are wide joins of every measure type for that entity.
