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
This twenty-game stretch was defined by maddening volatility, as Anthony Edwards oscillated wildly between unstoppable offensive eruptions and bizarrely passive slumps. During the 11/15 vs DEN matchup, he bricked all eight of his three-point attempts, yet still managed to grind out a +3.8 impact score by leaning heavily on elite on-ball defensive pressure and relentless transition attacks to salvage his value. When his jumper actually fell, he was utterly terrifying. He completely broke the Kings during the 11/24 vs SAC contest, pouring in 43 points to generate a staggering +21.0 impact score that dictated the entire flow of the offense. However, his box score numbers occasionally masked hidden costs on the floor. Look no further than the 12/02 vs NOP game, where a massive 44-point explosion yielded a shockingly low +1.9 impact score. Despite the incredible isolation scoring volume that night, his true value was heavily dragged down by careless ball security and frustrating defensive apathy. He remains one of the league's most lethal scorers, but his absolute ceiling depends entirely on whether he can eliminate these costly lapses in focus.
Anthony Edwards spent this twenty-game stretch operating as an unrepentant gunslinger, riding a terrifying line between offensive supernova and inefficient ball-stopper. When his jumper was falling, he was completely unguardable. Look no further than his 55-point eruption on 01/17 vs SAS, where a staggering +17.9 impact score was fueled by massive shot-making volume that dictated the entire flow of the game. However, that same supreme confidence frequently dragged down his overall value when the shots stopped dropping. During a 25-point outing on 01/10 vs CLE, his relentless high-volume gunning yielded a negative -3.2 impact score because the sheer number of empty possessions from missed jumpers actively hurt his team. He hit rock bottom on 01/22 vs CHI, forcing contested looks to shoot an abysmal 9-for-25 from the floor. That catastrophic shot selection profile cratered his overall rating, resulting in a brutal -9.8 impact score despite tallying 20 points.
Extreme volatility defined Anthony Edwards during this turbulent stretch, swinging wildly between unstoppable offensive masterclasses and disastrous, shot-chucking duds. The hidden costs of his erratic decision-making were glaringly obvious on 02/24 vs POR. Despite pouring in 34 points, he dragged his impact score down to a dismal -6.2 by forcing up a massive volume of misses on an 11-for-27 shooting night. When he actually dialed in his focus, he was an absolute terror. Look no further than 03/03 vs MEM. An elite blend of shot creation and fierce defensive intensity generated a monstrous +26.9 impact alongside his 41 points. Unfortunately, he often reverted to settling for heavily contested, off-the-dribble jumpers. This frustrating habit completely tanked his value on 04/03 vs PHI, resulting in a brutal -11.8 impact as he clanked his way to just 8 points on an abysmal 3-for-15 shooting display.
