Throwback Thursday: The most viewed player profiles of 2019

It is always interesting to look back on the stories that moved the needle on HoopSeen. We wanted to look back on the 2019 year and see which players you were searching for the most. The results were fun to dig through. Here’s a snapshot at which players stood the tallest in the HoopSeen network, according to the most visited player profiles on the website. Here are the winners from each state in the Deep South. The player listed had his profile visited more than any player in his respective state.
