+12.9

Taking a backseat in scoring volume compared to his recent tear, his hyper-efficient shot selection still drove a stellar +16.5 box score impact. He managed the game beautifully, using his perimeter gravity to warp the defense while competing hard on the other end to disrupt passing lanes (+3.7 Def).

Outstanding defensive metrics (+5.3) and high-energy closeouts were completely undone by his offensive invisibility across heavy minutes. His reluctance to shoot and inability to punish closeouts allowed his primary defender to roam freely, severely sabotaging the team's half-court spacing.

Absolute dominance in limited minutes yielded an astronomical +28.2 box impact, as he completely dismantled the opponent's frontcourt with surgical passing and hyper-efficient finishing.
