Nov 17 | -21.7 impact

PATTERNS

Struggling. II has posted negative impact in 75% of games this season. The production rarely outweighs the cost.

Average defender. II doesn't hurt you defensively, but he's not making opponents uncomfortable either.

Small downward trend. First-half impact: -3.8, second-half: -6.4. Not alarming yet, but trending the wrong direction.
