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

A maddening inconsistency and catastrophic shot selection defined Jalen Green’s first twenty games of the season. Even when his point totals looked respectable, his underlying habits routinely sabotaged the offense. During the 03/10 vs MIL matchup, he poured in 25 points but still posted a -1.8 impact score because erratic perimeter shot selection and heavy usage masked his actual value. When his jumper completely abandoned him, the results were downright disastrous. He repeatedly forced contested looks on 02/26 vs LAL, derailing the offense to the tune of a brutal -15.5 impact. Yet, he occasionally found ways to salvage his worth when the offense stalled. On 02/22 vs POR, Green managed a +6.3 impact despite scoring just 13 points on 6-for-16 shooting by locking in defensively and generating unexpected value on the other end of the floor. If he wants to be a reliable focal point, he has to stop letting stubborn offensive aggression dictate his nightly worth.

IMPACT TIMELINE

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

PATTERNS

Boom-or-bust player. Green's impact swings wildly relative to his average — some nights dominant, others invisible. Scoring varies by ~9 points per game.

Middle-of-the-road efficiency — shoots 45%+ from the field in 44% of games. Not automatic, but not a problem either.

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

Getting better as the season goes on. First-half impact: -1.9, second-half: +2.7. That's a significant jump — could be a role change, confidence, or development clicking.

Tends to go on runs. Longest hot streak: 2 games. Longest cold streak: 7 games.
