This is a part of sports analytics application series: Exploratory Data Analysis (EDA) of Duncan Robinson's playing career for the University of Michigan Wolverine Men's Basketball team. Specifically, the analysis observes three-point attempts and scores, observing 2015-16, 2016-17, and 2017-18 seasons.

Michigan Wolverine during the period heavily depended its scoring on three-point field goals; the concerted dependencies in important and challenged games turned *verschlimmbessern*. While not able to win the tournament (March Madness/Final Four), the team is recorded to have their overall successful seasons. Among their shooters, [Duncan Robinson](https://mgoblue.com/sports/mens-basketball/roster/duncan-robinson/15226) became one of the most efficient three-point shooter in NBA as an undrafted rookie with [Miami Heat](https://www.nba.com/heat/news/heat-resigns-duncan-robinson). The exercises below evaluate his three-point shooting performance at Michigan then later in NBA.
