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
Trayce Jackson-Davis opened the 2025-26 campaign as a wildly volatile situational weapon whose nightly value hinged entirely on rim protection and vertical spacing rather than raw scoring. When he anchored the paint, his non-scoring contributions swung games entirely. Look at 11/07 vs DEN, where he managed just 9 points but posted a massive +14.7 impact because his dominant rim protection completely altered the opponent's shot profile. He replicated this specialized dominance on 12/25 vs DAL, turning 13 brief minutes and 10 points into a +10.7 impact strictly through flawless execution as a roll man. However, when opponents neutralized his physical edges, his value plummeted. During 11/11 vs OKC, he scored 6 points and grabbed 6 rebounds in 22 minutes, yet suffered a brutal -13.4 impact because hidden costs like severe struggles with interior positioning and a high foul rate cratered his overall rating. He remains a highly effective connector and defensive anchor, provided he operates strictly within his physical limits.
This midseason stretch was defined by extreme rotation volatility, as Trayce Jackson-Davis bounced between game-changing hustle shifts and completely invisible cameos. When he embraced the grimy aspects of the game, his value spiked wildly, perfectly illustrated on 01/02 vs OKC. Despite a horrific 1-for-6 shooting night, he generated a massive +7.3 impact score by dominating the dirty work areas and pulling down nine rebounds. However, when that physical edge vanished, he became an active detriment to the second unit. During a 12-minute stint on 01/20 vs TOR, he offered virtually no offensive resistance or gravity, resulting in a brutal -6.1 impact score as he completely disappeared from the floor. He finally found his ideal rhythm on 02/08 vs IND. By completely sealing off the defensive glass and denying second-chance points, he posted a double-double in just 16 minutes to earn a staggering +14.4 impact score. Ultimately, his effectiveness hinged entirely on his willingness to do the exhausting, unglamorous chores in the paint.
IMPACT TIMELINE
Game-by-game performance vs average. Green = above average, red = below.
Boom-or-bust player. Jackson-Davis's impact swings wildly relative to his average — some nights dominant, others invisible. Scoring varies by ~3 points per game.
Middle-of-the-road efficiency — shoots 45%+ from the field in 60% of games. Not automatic, but not a problem either.
Good defender on his best nights, but it comes and goes. Some games Jackson-Davis locks in defensively, others he gets picked apart.
Small downward trend. First-half impact: +2.6, second-half: +0.8. Not alarming yet, but trending the wrong direction.
