Story
What this project is really about
Ball Hogs starts as a sports data warehouse instead of a shiny fantasy app. The first move is deliberately unglamorous: pull NBA player, team, league, draft, schedule, and game data into database tables that preserve the API shape. Once the raw feed is trustworthy, the useful fantasy views, comparison layers, and decision tools can sit on top.
The project is still early, but the intent is clear: build the chassis for sports analysis before building the hot takes. NBA is the first feed, NFL is the next obvious expansion, and the long-term version is a data platform that can support fantasy tools, analysis notebooks, and application features without rebuilding the ingestion layer every season.
