GRADEY DICK
Dick produces at an below average rate for a 15-minute workload.
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
Gradey Dick’s early season was defined by extreme volatility, oscillating wildly between lethal floor-spacing gravity and crippling shooting slumps. He opened the year looking like a premier off-ball weapon on 10/22 vs ATL. His 21 points and massive +13.3 impact score came directly from relentless movement that completely warped the opposing defense. Surprisingly, Dick also found ways to contribute when his jumper abandoned him. On 11/19 vs PHI, he scored just 4 points but still managed a +5.8 impact score by focusing entirely on high-effort hustle plays and securing critical loose balls. Unfortunately, those gritty performances were frequently erased by disastrous offensive outings. During a brutal 11/24 vs CLE tilt, he went completely scoreless on 0/5 shooting, yielding a catastrophic -11.1 impact score. When he fails to convert open looks, opponents simply sag off him, turning the young wing into a glaring offensive liability.
A crippling lack of offensive assertiveness and glaring defensive vulnerabilities defined this brutal midseason stretch for Gradey Dick. Even when his scoring ticked up, hidden costs at the other end of the floor frequently ruined his overall value. During a 9-point outing on 01/09 vs BOS, opposing guards relentlessly targeted him in isolation to saddle him with a -4.5 impact. Conversely, he occasionally found ways to survive without filling the box score, scratching out a +1.7 impact on 12/20 vs BOS despite scoring just 5 points. Timely off-ball movement and energetic hustle plays kept him marginally in the black that night. Otherwise, tentative trigger fingers and poor spatial awareness routinely sabotaged his shifts. Thankfully, this bleak run ended with a sudden awakening on 01/14 vs IND. Dick erupted for 21 points and 11 rebounds, driving a massive +10.4 impact as his supreme offensive confidence finally returned.
An infuriating inconsistency defined this 20-game stretch for Gradey Dick, as he bounced wildly between being a lethal floor-spacer and a complete offensive ghost. Sometimes, his scoring actually masked a net-negative performance. Take the 02/11 vs DET matchup, where he managed 10 points but posted a miserable -4.7 impact score because of glaring defensive fragility and a tendency to wander off the ball. Yet, he also provided immense value on quiet shooting nights. During the 02/08 vs IND contest, Dick tallied just 8 points but generated a stellar +5.7 impact rating simply through relentless off-ball movement that kept the defense scrambling. When everything clicked, he looked exactly like the sniper his team envisioned. He opened this stretch on 01/16 vs LAC by hunting transition trailing threes for 15 points and a massive +8.2 impact score. Still, those peaks were too often interrupted by stretches of empty minutes where his failure to generate gravity stalled the offense entirely.
IMPACT TIMELINE
Game-by-game performance vs average. Green = above average, red = below.
Boom-or-bust player. Dick's impact swings wildly relative to his average — some nights dominant, others invisible. Scoring varies by ~5 points per game.
Middle-of-the-road efficiency — shoots 45%+ from the field in 42% of games. Not automatic, but not a problem either.
Average defender. Dick doesn't hurt you defensively, but he's not making opponents uncomfortable either.
Flat trajectory all season — first-half impact -1.8, second-half -0.9. No major shifts, which fits with the overall steadiness.
