How would I finish this DataStore load?

I'm having a bit of trouble understanding what I should do for loading the Values from the Datastore table to the actual IntValues in the players leaderstats.

I'm really new to Datastores so if you could please break it down for me I would really appreciate it!

01local ds = game:GetService("DataStoreService"):GetDataStore("PlayerStats2")
02 
03local getStats = Instance.new("BindableFunction")
04getStats.Name = "getStats"
05getStats.Parent = script
06 
07function saveStats(player)
08    local statz = player:FindFirstChild("leaderstats") 
09    local stats = statz:GetChildren()
10    if stats then
11        local statsTab = {}
12        for i,v in pairs(stats) do
13            statsTab[v.Name] = v.Value
14        end
15 
16        ds:SetAsync(tostring(player.UserId), statsTab)
17    end
18end
19 
20function getStats(player)
21    return ds:GetAsync(tostring(player.UserId)) or {} 
22end
23                                  --**What would I do here to have the datastore load the saved Values**?
24while true do
25    wait(60)
26    for i,v in pairs(game.Players:GetPlayers()) do
27        saveStats(v)
28    end
29end

33getStats.OnInvoke = getStats
