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

Isaiah Livers spent the first twenty games of the season battling basketball irrelevance, largely drifting through his minutes as an offensive ghost. His nadir arrived on 11/24 vs HOU, where he logged 23 scoreless minutes on 0-for-3 shooting and posted a brutal -10.0 impact score. That abysmal rating stemmed directly from his failure to convert spot-up opportunities, which severely shrank the floor for his teammates. When he finally decided to pull the trigger, the results were often worse. On 01/02 vs SAC, Livers derailed the offensive flow by forcing contested shots early in the clock, finishing with zero points and a -6.6 impact rating. He did manage one brilliant outlier on 01/11 vs WAS, instantly sparking the bench with a perfect 3-for-3 shooting night to earn a +6.0 impact score in just seven minutes. Ultimately, those fleeting moments of competence were buried under a mountain of defensive breakdowns and crippling passivity.

PATTERNS

Struggling. Livers has posted negative impact in 75% of games this season. The production rarely outweighs the cost.

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

Flat trajectory all season — first-half impact -2.3, second-half -1.0. No major shifts, which fits with the overall steadiness.

In a rough stretch — 11 straight games with negative impact. Longest cold streak this season: 11 games.
