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
Micah Potter’s early 2025-26 campaign was defined by maddening inconsistency, oscillating wildly between a lethal stretch-big and a passive offensive liability. When his outside shot was falling, he looked like an ideal modern frontcourt piece. He stretched the floor beautifully vs SAS on 01/02, drilling four three-pointers to post a stellar +7.4 impact score. Yet, when his jumper abandoned him, his overall value plummeted. Look no further than his start vs NYK on 02/10, where settling for contested perimeter shots yielded an ugly -4.6 impact score despite him scraping together 10 points. Even more alarming was his baffling disappearing act vs DET on 01/17. Despite logging 33 minutes and grabbing nine rebounds, he failed to hit a single field goal, resulting in a brutal -6.6 impact mark because he completely vanished as a scoring threat. Potter clearly possesses the tools to anchor a productive second unit, but his tendency to settle for bad looks constantly sabotages his effectiveness.
A scorching hot streak of hyper-efficient floor-spacing and dominant pick-and-roll finishing defined Micah Potter's midseason run off the bench. He completely torched the defense on 02/24 vs PHI, pouring in 23 points on 9-of-11 shooting to post a massive +14.4 impact score. That stellar rating stemmed directly from his flawless shot selection and punishing rolls to the rim. Yet, putting up points did not always translate to winning basketball. On 02/19 vs WAS, Potter tallied 14 points but suffered a -3.1 impact because his soft interior resistance allowed opponents to score at will in the paint. He eventually found ways to create value without needing heavy shot volume, posting a +6.8 impact on 03/06 vs LAL despite scoring just eight points. By setting bone-crushing screens and executing perfectly within the flow of the offense, he generated massive leverage without demanding the basketball.
IMPACT TIMELINE
Game-by-game performance vs average. Green = above average, red = below.
Typical consistency. Potter is positive more often than not (60% of games) with scoring varying ~6 points from the average.
Middle-of-the-road efficiency — shoots 45%+ from the field in 62% of games. Not automatic, but not a problem either.
Defensive difference-maker. Potter consistently forces tough shots and protects the rim — opponents shoot worse when he's guarding them.
Getting better as the season goes on. First-half impact: +0.3, second-half: +3.9. That's a significant jump — could be a role change, confidence, or development clicking.
Tends to go on runs. Longest hot streak: 7 games. Longest cold streak: 3 games.
