Impact
+8.0

Efficient finishing inside the arc was nearly canceled out by poor perimeter spacing and missed outside shots. He found great success cutting to the basket, but his inability to connect from deep allowed the defense to pack the paint, resulting in a merely neutral overall impact.

Masterful offensive efficiency and lethal floor spacing from the center position drove an elite positive impact. By consistently knocking down trail threes, he pulled the opposing rim protector away from the basket and created massive driving lanes for his guards.
