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
Jaden Ivey’s first twenty games were defined by maddening volatility, swinging wildly between explosive rim-pressure and catastrophic decision-making off the bench. Even when he managed to find the basket, hidden costs often ruined his overall value. Take his 12/28 vs LAC outing as a prime example. Despite scoring 11 points in a season-high 29 minutes, he posted a dreadful -4.8 impact because reckless drives into traffic and forced isolation jumpers completely torpedoed the offense. Similarly, flawless outside shooting during the 12/06 vs MIL matchup couldn't save him from a -1.8 impact, as severe defensive lapses entirely negated his 10-point night. Yet, when he harnessed his blistering first step, he was nearly impossible to stop. He carved up the interior on 12/03 vs MIL with aggressive downhill drives, racking up 15 points and a stellar +6.4 impact. Until he stops settling for contested perimeter jumpers and learns to consistently read the floor, Ivey will remain a chaotic bench wildcard rather than a reliable weapon.
IMPACT TIMELINE
Game-by-game performance vs average. Green = above average, red = below.
Inconsistent. Ivey has clear good-night/bad-night splits, with scoring swinging ~4 points between games. You're never quite sure which version shows up.
Streaky shooter — only cracks 45% from the field in 40% of games. Efficiency is all over the place night-to-night.
Good defender on his best nights, but it comes and goes. Some games Ivey locks in defensively, others he gets picked apart.
Small downward trend. First-half impact: -0.3, second-half: -3.1. Not alarming yet, but trending the wrong direction.
Tends to go on runs. Longest hot streak: 3 games. Longest cold streak: 7 games.
