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

IMPACT TIMELINE

Game-by-game performance vs average. Green = above average, red = below.

PATTERNS

Steady role player. II's impact doesn't swing much in absolute terms, and he's positive in 57% of games. You know what you're getting.

Defensive difference-maker. II consistently forces tough shots and protects the rim — opponents shoot worse when he's guarding them.

Slight upward trend. First-half impact: +0.8, second-half: +2.9. Modest improvement — possibly settling into a rhythm.
