I'm kind of curious if within position there is variation by height. Like are small centers better? I think we tend to over-index on Shaq, but KAT is really good at FTs (it might be the thing he's best at [shots fired]).
Love this approach to handling small sample sizes. The variance spread on centers being wider than guards makes alot of intuitive sense given the skill distribution at that position. Ive always though the positional priors should matter way more in early season projections than they do in most models.

That’s exactly what I wanted to do next!

Yeah! These priors matter more and more as you have less data
