[len(C) for (title, C) in col]

We now have our dataframe populated with the RPM data. However, we can see that under the ‘NAME’ column, the player name is combined with the player position. We want to separate the player position into a new column. However, before doing this, we need to handle pagination and collect the rest of the player data, as it is stored across 13 separate pages.

Find the link to the next page

# Extract the next page link
next_page_link = 'https:' + doc.xpath('//*[@id="my-players-table"]/div/div[2]/div/div[2]/a/@href')[0]
print(next_page_link)

https://www.espn.com/nba/statistics/rpm/_/page/2

Let’s put all of the above in its own method, which we can call repeatedly inside a wrapper function. Additionally, let’s add a cleaning function to handle the separation of the player name and player position into separate features. Our complete scraper with all its methods are shown below.
