Load wehoop WNBA Stats League Dashboard cube

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
)

One of player_bio, player_master, player_stats_base, player_stats_advanced, player_stats_misc, player_stats_scoring, player_stats_usage, player_stats_defense, team_master, team_stats_base, team_stats_advanced, team_stats_misc, team_stats_scoring, team_stats_defense, team_stats_opponent, team_stats_fourfactors, lineups_master, lineups_base, lineups_advanced, lineups_misc, lineups_scoring, lineups_opponent, lineups_fourfactors, standings.
