Guess The NBA Player

About Guess The NBA Player

Guess The NBA Player is a Poeltl-style daily for basketball fans. You type any player's name from a pool of about 1,500 and pick him from the dropdown, and six tiles show how he compares with the mystery player: draft year, division, team, position, jersey number and country.

Green means a detail matches exactly, amber means you are close, such as the same conference or a number within range, and grey means no match. On number tiles an arrow points up or down toward the answer.

After five guesses a hint unlocks: one per game, revealing the division, the team or the draft year. Give Up shows the answer and counts as a loss. A new player is set every day at midnight EST, yesterday's answer appears on the home page, and the menu lets you replay any game from the past fifteen days.

There is also a Create option for custom games that do not count toward your statistics, which makes it easy to set a puzzle for a friend.

Tips

• Open with a player from a central division and a mid-2010s draft to split the field.
• Amber on team means the same conference, which halves the list.
• Save the hint for team: it usually narrows things the most.
