Impact
+24.9

An absolute masterclass in two-way dominance, driven by elite rim protection (+7.2 Defense) and relentless rebounding (+11.7 Hustle). He paired this physical interior presence with lethal perimeter execution (+6.3 Shot Making), completely breaking the game open and dictating the terms of engagement on both ends.

Impact
-8.3

Disastrous ball security (-10.6 Turnovers) completely torpedoed what was otherwise a highly productive offensive showing (+10.1 Scoring). Despite initiating numerous scoring sequences, his actual playmaking impact was minimal (+0.3 Creation) because he was setting up basic, low-difficulty looks rather than bending the defense.

Crippling turnover woes (-4.7) and an absolute inability to generate efficient offense (-1.1 Scoring) cratered Wiggins's impact score. He was completely neutralized as a scoring threat, repeatedly stalling out possessions and failing to offset his mistakes with meaningful defensive disruption.

A glaring lack of scoring punch (+1.7) from a volume shooter ultimately doomed McCain's overall value. While he didn't bleed value in any one specific area, his failure to bend the defense or connect from deep left the second unit starving for offensive gravity.

Despite providing excellent point-of-attack resistance (+4.7 Defense), Dort's overall rating was dragged down by a severe lack of offensive volume (+3.0 Scoring). His inability to generate gravity or contribute on the glass (+0.3 Hustle) turned him into a one-dimensional specialist who couldn't tilt the math in his team's favor.
