Hesitation to let it fly from the perimeter allowed the defense to sag off and clog the driving lanes. He made up for the offensive timidity by executing drop coverage perfectly, forcing tough mid-range floaters. This balance of defensive discipline and offensive passivity resulted in a nearly flat impact score.

Elite weak-side rim protection and perfectly timed deflections fueled a massive defensive rating. He completely shut down his primary assignment on the wing, forcing multiple shot-clock violations. This lockdown perimeter presence combined with timely rim-runs generated one of the highest impact scores of the night.

Foul trouble and an inability to secure contested defensive rebounds severely limited his overall influence. He was frequently pulled away from the rim by pick-and-pop bigs, neutralizing his typical shot-blocking presence. While his offensive finishing was clean, the defensive sacrifices kept his impact modest.
