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
Jonathan Kuminga's first twenty games were defined by a jarring mid-season demotion to the bench and a maddeningly inconsistent approach to offensive basketball. Even when he filled the stat sheet early in the year, hidden costs routinely dragged down his overall value. During the 11/05 vs SAC matchup, he poured in 24 points but posted a dismal -7.5 impact score because severe inefficiency on high volume completely cratered the offense. Conversely, he occasionally found ways to contribute when his scoring abandoned him. In the 12/02 vs OKC game, he scored just 8 points on a slew of heavily contested misses, yet salvaged a positive +1.1 impact score by leaning on stout defensive metrics (+4.5) to keep his team afloat. Banished to the second unit, Kuminga finally began to maximize his physical gifts in shorter bursts, generating a massive +11.2 impact score in just nine minutes during the 01/22 vs DAL contest by attacking the basket with ruthless efficiency for 10 points. If he wants his starting job back, he must permanently abandon his tunnel vision and fully embrace this streamlined, high-energy role.
IMPACT TIMELINE
Game-by-game performance vs average. Green = above average, red = below.
Boom-or-bust player. Kuminga's impact swings wildly relative to his average — some nights dominant, others invisible. Scoring varies by ~7 points per game.
Middle-of-the-road efficiency — shoots 45%+ from the field in 53% of games. Not automatic, but not a problem either.
Defensive difference-maker. Kuminga 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: -2.6, second-half: +1.5. That's a significant jump — could be a role change, confidence, or development clicking.
Tends to go on runs. Longest hot streak: 5 games. Longest cold streak: 11 games.
