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

IMPACT TIMELINE

Game-by-game performance vs average. Green = above average, red = below.

PATTERNS

Very consistent. Tatum posts positive impact in 83% of games — you almost always get a productive night. Scoring varies by ~4 points, but the overall contribution stays positive.

Streaky shooter — only cracks 45% from the field in 17% of games. Efficiency is all over the place night-to-night.

Defensive difference-maker. Tatum consistently forces tough shots and protects the rim — opponents shoot worse when he's guarding them.

Hot right now — 5 straight games with positive impact. Longest positive run this season: 5 games.
