Despite a massive scoring jump compared to his recent slump, hidden costs during his minutes dragged his total impact to -4.3. His trademark point-of-attack defense (+4.3) was present, but the team bled points during his specific rotation stretches.

Opponents clearly exploited his lack of mobility in the pick-and-roll, leading to a negative defensive rating (-0.6) that tanked his overall impact to -6.5. While he hit a couple of outside shots, his inability to protect the perimeter during his short stint proved costly.
