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

Boom-or-bust player. Looney's impact swings wildly relative to his average — some nights dominant, others invisible. Scoring varies by ~2 points per game.

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

Getting better as the season goes on. First-half impact: -0.8, second-half: +2.7. That's a significant jump — could be a role change, confidence, or development clicking.

Hot right now — 4 straight games with positive impact. Longest positive run this season: 4 games.
