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

Corey Kispert’s early season was defined by wild volatility, exposing the harsh reality of a shooting specialist who bleeds value the moment his jumper stops falling. Even when his raw scoring numbers looked respectable, a glaring lack of resistance often ruined his overall effectiveness. During the 10/28 vs PHI matchup, he tallied 13 points but posted a dismal -7.3 impact score because opponents ruthlessly hunted him in pick-and-roll actions to generate straight-line drives. He flipped the script entirely on 11/25 vs ATL. Stepping into the starting lineup, he earned a massive +11.0 impact mark by pouring in 19 points and tilting the floor with a barrage of perimeter daggers. Yet his utility didn't always require a scoring explosion. On 11/21 vs TOR, a modest 9-point outing still yielded a positive +0.5 impact because he supplied disciplined defensive rotations and reliable floor spacing. If he isn't moving off the ball or holding his own defensively, his minutes quickly become a liability.

A chaotic pendulum swing between lethal perimeter shooting and crippling defensive lapses defined this dizzying twenty-game stretch for Corey Kispert. Even when his shot was falling, hidden costs often dragged his overall value into the red, perfectly illustrated during 01/13 vs LAL. Despite dropping 19 points, severe defensive liabilities completely erased his scoring production and resulted in a dismal -7.3 impact score. The floor completely fell out during 02/07 vs CHA. In that appearance, defensive miscommunications and sluggish late closeouts allowed opposing shooters to feast, plummeting him to a brutal -14.8 impact score despite his 8 points. He simply gave away too many easy baskets. Yet, just when his rotation spot looked precarious, he erupted during 02/26 vs WAS. Operating as an absolute flamethrower from beyond the arc, he poured in 33 points and generated a massive +15.7 impact score by shattering the defense with elite shot-making.

IMPACT TIMELINE

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

PATTERNS

Boom-or-bust player. Kispert's impact swings wildly relative to his average — some nights dominant, others invisible. Scoring varies by ~6 points per game.

Middle-of-the-road efficiency — shoots 45%+ from the field in 57% of games. Not automatic, but not a problem either.

Good defender on his best nights, but it comes and goes. Some games Kispert locks in defensively, others he gets picked apart.

Tends to go on runs. Longest hot streak: 3 games. Longest cold streak: 6 games.
