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

Terrence Shannon Jr.’s opening stretch of the season was defined by maddening inconsistency and a total inability to find a reliable rhythm off the bench. Even when he managed to put the ball in the basket, the hidden costs of his erratic play routinely dragged down his overall value. A prime example occurred on 11/29 vs BOS, where he scored 10 points but posted a dismal -5.7 impact score because his tunnel vision on straight-line drives led to offensive fouls and stalled possessions. His lowest point arrived earlier on 10/24 vs LAL, hemorrhaging value with a catastrophic -12.7 impact score after looking totally lost in the offensive flow and blowing defensive rotations. Then came a sudden flash of brilliance. He erupted for 18 points on a flawless 7-for-7 shooting night on 11/26 vs OKC, generating a stellar +6.2 impact score by hitting every single shot he took. Ultimately, if Shannon wants to survive in a nightly NBA rotation, he must abandon these reckless, out-of-control drives and learn to play within himself.

IMPACT TIMELINE

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

Oct 24 | -12.7 impact

PATTERNS

Struggling. Jr. has posted negative impact in 76% of games this season. The production rarely outweighs the cost.

Middle-of-the-road efficiency — shoots 45%+ from the field in 50% of games. Not automatic, but not a problem either.

Average defender. Jr. doesn't hurt you defensively, but he's not making opponents uncomfortable either.

Slight upward trend. First-half impact: -3.1, second-half: -0.9. Modest improvement — possibly settling into a rhythm.

Tends to go on runs. Longest hot streak: 2 games. Longest cold streak: 10 games.
