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

Moussa Cisse’s early season was defined by extreme volatility as a low-minute energy big, swinging wildly between game-wrecking interior dominance and chaotic defensive lapses. He frequently generated massive value without even looking at the basket. On 11/22 vs MEM, he logged zero points in nine minutes but still posted a +5.6 impact score simply by anchoring the paint with aggressive defensive deterrence. When his motor was fully engaged, he was an absolute terror on the glass. During the 01/10 vs CHI matchup, Cisse dominated the interior through pure hustle and rim protection, pulling down 10 rebounds to drive a staggering +12.9 impact score despite scoring only five points. However, his situational awareness often betrayed him in shorter stints. During a brief five-minute run on 11/24 vs MIA, missed rotations and terrible screen navigation severely damaged the team, resulting in a brutal -4.0 impact mark. Cisse remains a raw, highly situational weapon who can completely alter the geometry of the paint, provided he avoids beating himself with poor positioning.

IMPACT TIMELINE
