The lack of defensive resistance further compounded his highly negative stint on the floor.

Crashed back to earth after a scorching shooting stretch, failing to connect on any of his perimeter attempts. The offense stagnated whenever he tried to shoot his way out of the slump, allowing the defense to cheat off him and clog the driving lanes. His lack of secondary playmaking made him a severe liability when the jumper vanished.

Defensive lapses and poor closeouts allowed his assignments to find easy rhythm from the perimeter. While he didn't force the issue offensively, his inability to navigate screens compromised the team's entire defensive shell. The steep negative impact reflects how often he was successfully targeted in isolation.
