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
Maddening offensive passivity and extreme volatility defined Josh Green's opening stretch of the season off the bench. He frequently sabotaged his own value by refusing to look at the rim, a flaw that reached its absolute nadir during the 01/17 vs GSW matchup. In that contest, he attempted zero shots in 15 minutes, yielding a brutal -11.1 impact score because passing up open looks completely compromised the team's offensive flow. Even when he managed to find the bottom of the net, hidden costs often dragged him down. Take the 12/29 vs MIL game, where he scored 10 points but still posted a -4.2 impact score due to costly defensive lapses and poor perimeter efficiency. Yet, when he fully engaged his motor, Green could absolutely tilt the floor without filling the basket. During the 12/20 vs DET contest, he scored a modest 5 points but drove a massive +5.4 impact score by relying on elite hustle metrics and suffocating point-of-attack defense.
Extreme volatility defined Josh Green's mid-season stretch, as he oscillated wildly between spectacular two-way efficiency and absolute offensive invisibility. When he actually engaged, the results were striking. Look no further than 02/05 vs HOU, where flawless offensive execution yielded 14 points on perfect 4-for-4 shooting and a massive +14.1 impact score driven by elite defensive disruption. Yet, those peaks were frequently derailed by stretches of extreme passivity where he simply refused to look at the rim. During a brutal stint on 01/28 vs MEM, he went scoreless and posted a dismal -10.6 impact because defenders completely ignored him, shrinking the floor for his teammates. Even when his shot occasionally fell, hidden costs dragged down his overall value. On 03/03 vs DAL, a sudden eruption of perimeter shot-making netted him 11 points, but his underlying defensive passivity resulted in a flat -0.0 impact score. Ultimately, Green's effectiveness relies entirely on his willingness to attack closeouts and embrace dirty work rather than merely running empty miles.
IMPACT TIMELINE
Game-by-game performance vs average. Green = above average, red = below.
Boom-or-bust player. Green's impact swings wildly relative to his average — some nights dominant, others invisible. Scoring varies by ~4 points per game.
Middle-of-the-road efficiency — shoots 45%+ from the field in 50% of games. Not automatic, but not a problem either.
Good defender on his best nights, but it comes and goes. Some games Green locks in defensively, others he gets picked apart.
In a rough stretch — 5 straight games with negative impact. Longest cold streak this season: 8 games.
