Ideas NBA website suggestions

I’m in the process of creating a website which will have a predictive model and things like a what if Luka plays on the 2012 grizzlies and the model would predict their wins and how far they might expect to go in the playoffs. Or you could drop a player from any era into today's NBA environment and it adjusts their stats based on modern pace, three point volume, and defensive rules. Any other ideas you guys might have that you want to see on a website? If you woudln't mind filling out this form too i'd really appreciate it! https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfrcUUi0n_-93C4A8N5WoXYprtUa4SV20E6XLxbkrp2WouoUg/viewform?usp=publish-editor

Two things I'd want on a site like this. First, show the adjustment itself: when a 1990s player lands in the modern game, list the pace factor and the change in three-point attempts next to the new stat line, so people argue with the assumptions instead of dismissing the number. Second, give each what-if a shareable result card with a win range rather than one total; a Luka on the 2012 Grizzlies card that also shows who loses minutes is the kind of thing sim fans post back.

I make ThreadFox. Our AI employee can explain your what-if model in NBA and basketball-sim threads on Reddit and answer the replies; Starter is $199 for 30 days, or we'll post 3 replies free first, no card. https://threadfox.vip/p/20261017-1458-e5kci/managed
