About this model: Net Impact can't measure floor spacing, help defense rotations, or playmaking gravity — so wings and guards are slightly undervalued vs bigs. How Net Impact works

PATTERNS

Struggling. Paul has posted negative impact in 81% of games this season. The production rarely outweighs the cost.

Streaky shooter — only cracks 45% from the field in 0% of games. Efficiency is all over the place night-to-night.

Good defender on his best nights, but it comes and goes. Some games Paul locks in defensively, others he gets picked apart.

Performance has dropped off. First-half impact: -2.2, second-half: -5.4. Worth watching whether it's fatigue, injury, or opponents adjusting.

In a rough stretch — 8 straight games with negative impact. Longest cold streak this season: 8 games.
