Continuing his steady scoring trend, his offensive production was robust but offset by hidden negative plays that flattened his total impact. Strong defensive positioning (+4.1) helped salvage a marginally positive rating on a night where his baseline scoring masked some underlying inefficiencies.
A severe drop-off in scoring efficiency completely tanked his offensive value. Even an outstanding defensive effort (+7.0) and high-energy hustle couldn't rescue his net impact from the damage done by forced shots and clanked jumpers.
Elite hustle plays (+4.8) and capable perimeter shot-making fueled a strong baseline rating. However, defensive lapses (-0.7) ate into those offensive gains, leaving him with only a marginally positive overall footprint.

A near-total lack of offensive involvement rendered him mostly invisible during his minutes. Minor defensive missteps were enough to drag his low-volume shift into slightly negative territory.
