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
Drew Eubanks spent the first stretch of the season riding a wild pendulum, bouncing erratically between dominant rim-running and glaring defensive collapses. His performance on 11/07 vs OKC perfectly captured this frustrating duality. Despite pouring in 16 points on a highly efficient 8-of-11 from the floor, he posted a dismal -3.9 impact score because he constantly surrendered deep post position on the defensive end. Conversely, he generated massive value doing the dirty work without demanding the ball on 11/26 vs PHX. He managed just 4 points in 14 minutes, yet logged a stellar +6.6 impact score by aggressively contesting shots to earn a +3.9 hustle rating. When the offensive execution matched his energy, as it did on 11/11 vs DEN, he was an absolute force who converted nearly every lob to tally 19 points and a +6.3 impact score. Ultimately, his effectiveness strictly hinges on his physical presence in the paint. If he stops anchoring the interior and lets opponents bully him, his hyper-efficient finishing completely loses its value.
Drew Eubanks’s midseason stretch was defined by a rocky transition from an overmatched spot-starter into a highly effective, situational battering ram off the bench. Early on, he actively harmed his team on the floor, posting a dismal -2.1 impact score on 11/30 vs MEM because he offered absolutely zero defensive resistance. Once demoted to a strict reserve role, however, he began generating massive positive swings without needing a heavy offensive diet. Look at his outing on 03/10 vs IND, where he scored just 4 points but still logged a stellar +5.5 impact by completely disrupting the opposition with exceptional rim deterrence in drop coverage. When his playing time finally spiked, he delivered an absolute masterclass on 03/05 vs NOP. He erupted for 15 points and 11 rebounds in 22 minutes, earning a monstrous +11.1 impact score through hyper-efficient finishing and relentless rim-running that anchored the paint. He remains a blunt instrument who occasionally rushes his looks, but he thrives as a backup big when kept strictly in his lane.
