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
Evan Mobley's early 2025-26 campaign was defined by a volatile tug-of-war between his absolute defensive mastery and his frustrating offensive growing pains. He reached his absolute ceiling on 10/31 vs TOR, posting a monstrous +20.4 impact score by utterly dominating the paint on both ends of the floor for 29 points. Yet, raw scoring totals frequently masked his hidden costs. During the 11/19 vs HOU matchup, he tallied a respectable 18 points but suffered a brutal -9.1 impact because forcing the issue in the high post generated live-ball turnovers that fueled the opponent's transition game. Conversely, his sheer defensive gravity often salvages nights where his scoring volume dips. He managed just 15 points on 10/27 vs DET, but still generated a massive +13.4 impact by anchoring the interior with elite rim protection and disruptive help defense. He remains a defensive savant who clearly still wrestles with how to consistently optimize his offensive footprint.
Evan Mobley's midseason run was defined by a frustrating tug-of-war between two-way dominance and baffling offensive lapses. When fully engaged, he was an absolute terror. Look no further than 11/30 vs BOS, where he weaponized the pick-and-roll and used exceptional touch around the basket to rack up 27 points, 14 rebounds, and a monstrous +21.1 impact score. He did not even need a heavy scoring load to wreck opposing game plans. During the 01/02 vs DEN matchup, Mobley tallied a mere 8 points but still posted a +12.0 impact because his elite rim protection and timely weak-side rotations completely anchored the paint. Yet, hidden costs frequently ruined his advanced metrics even when his shot was falling. On 01/08 vs MIN, he poured in an efficient 19 points on 8-of-11 shooting, but his impact slipped to a -2.0 as subtle off-ball mistakes and hidden defensive costs dragged down his overall influence.
A terrifying two-way hot streak defined this stretch of the season for Evan Mobley, as he ruthlessly bullied opponents in the paint and erased everything at the rim. His absolute apex arrived on 03/30 vs UTA, where relentless interior scoring yielded 34 points, 17 rebounds, and a massive +23.7 impact score. Mobley didn't always need a heavy offensive workload to tilt the floor, though. On 02/19 vs BKN, he managed only 10 points but still drove a +4.0 impact because his elite rim deterrence and switchability completely suffocated the opposition. Conversely, raw box-score production did not always guarantee winning basketball. Despite logging 18 points and 11 rebounds on 03/15 vs DAL, Mobley posted a concerning -4.3 impact. Costly positional mistakes during clutch moments completely overshadowed his solid finishing that night, dragging his overall value into the red.
