IMPACT TIMELINE

Game-by-game performance vs average. Green = above average, red = below.

PATTERNS

Boom-or-bust player. Mbeng's impact swings wildly relative to his average — some nights dominant, others invisible. Scoring varies by ~9 points per game.

Reliable shooter — hits 45%+ from the field in 86% of games. You can count on efficient nights more often than not.

Defensive difference-maker. Mbeng consistently forces tough shots and protects the rim — opponents shoot worse when he's guarding them.

Getting better as the season goes on. First-half impact: -6.1, second-half: +0.3. That's a significant jump — could be a role change, confidence, or development clicking.
