PATTERNS

Struggling. Paul has posted negative impact in 100% of games this season. The production rarely outweighs the cost.

Streaky shooter — only cracks 45% from the field in 0% of games. Efficiency is all over the place night-to-night.

Average defender. Paul doesn't hurt you defensively, but he's not making opponents uncomfortable either.

Performance has dropped off. First-half impact: -6.8, second-half: -9.8. Worth watching whether it's fatigue, injury, or opponents adjusting.

In a rough stretch — 16 straight games with negative impact. Longest cold streak this season: 16 games.
