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

THE SEASON SO FAR

Jevon Carter's early-season stretch was defined by a maddening Jekyll-and-Hyde act where he oscillated between game-changing defensive menace and trigger-happy offensive liability. When he operated strictly within the flow of the offense, he thrived. He posted a massive +10.0 impact score on 11/12 vs DET with just 11 points because his flawless perimeter execution and timely corner spacing punished the defense perfectly. However, his erratic shot selection frequently derailed the second unit. Look at his 11/17 vs DEN outing: he scored 15 points, yet barely registered a blip with a -0.1 impact score because that production was artificially inflated by a barrage of deep, low-percentage heaves that masked poor overall play. He actively harmed his team again on 11/21 vs MIA, recording a dismal -6.2 impact score despite scoring 10 points because he settled exclusively for terrible perimeter bombs. While his relentless point-of-attack harassment occasionally swung momentum, his refusal to rein in his jump shot made him a wildly unpredictable rotational gamble.

This mid-season stretch was defined by a maddening Jekyll-and-Hyde offensive identity where trigger-happy shot selection frequently sabotaged Carter's defensive hustle. Look at the 02/21 vs PHX game as a prime example of his flaws. He scored 15 points in 33 minutes, but his -1.8 impact score reflected the hidden cost of jacking up 11 three-point attempts with highly erratic results. Things hit rock bottom during the 03/08 vs MIL matchup, where he posted a brutal -8.8 impact score because his habit of settling for contested, early-clock jumpers completely derailed the team's rhythm. He did find brief moments of two-way harmony, like on 02/19 vs SAC. In that contest, an unexpected scoring surge of 14 points on an efficient 5-of-8 from the floor provided a crucial spark, yielding a massive +6.0 impact score. Unfortunately, those efficient flashes were rare anomalies in a block of games where his penchant for excessive chucking routinely bogged down the second unit.

IMPACT TIMELINE

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

PATTERNS

Below-average consistency. Carter is negative impact in 74% of games, with scoring moving ~5 points game-to-game.

Streaky shooter — only cracks 45% from the field in 31% of games. Efficiency is all over the place night-to-night.

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

Small downward trend. First-half impact: -0.6, second-half: -2.6. Not alarming yet, but trending the wrong direction.

In a rough stretch — 4 straight games with negative impact. Longest cold streak this season: 8 games.
