FantasyOutlook
Columns as documented in the shared espn_basketball_player_overview_statistics_schema table.
A wide wehoop_data tibble, one row per athlete-season-team, with
the ESPN stat categories spread across prefixed columns:
| col_name | types | description |
| athlete_id | character | ESPN athlete identifier (echoed input). |
| season | integer | Season year for the stat line. |
| team_id | character | ESPN team identifier for that season. |
| team_slug | character | Team slug (e.g. 'phoenix-mercury'). |

| tot_* | numeric | Season-total stats (e.g. tot_points). |
| misc_* | numeric | Miscellaneous season totals. |
Stat column names come from ESPN's positional names array per category,
cleaned via janitor::make_clean_names(); the exact set varies by season.
A single tibble with one row per game. Column names reflect the stat labels returned by ESPN and will vary by season and player.
A single long-format tibble. When data are present, columns include
at minimum category and split_name, plus per-stat columns driven by
ESPN labels.
A single tibble. Per-event statistics.$ref URLs from the ESPN
core-v2 API are returned as the character column statistics_ref and
are NOT resolved. Similarly, event_ref, competition_ref, and
team_ref are returned as character columns.
| col_name | types | description |
| event_ref | character | Reference link to the originating event. |
| competition_ref | character | Competition ref. |
| team_ref | character | Team ref. |
| statistics_ref | character | Statistics ref. |
A single tibble. When resolved, each row corresponds to one
statistical entry in the core-v2 statistics log, with event_ref and
statistics_ref character columns pointing to resolvable ESPN endpoints.
| col_name | types | description |
| event_ref | character | Reference link to the originating event. |
| statistics_ref | character | Statistics ref. |
