IMPACT TIMELINE

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

Apr 10 | -15.9 impact

PATTERNS

Volatile for his role. Black has noticeable ups and downs, with scoring moving ~5 points between games.

Streaky shooter — only cracks 45% from the field in 20% of games. Efficiency is all over the place night-to-night.

Defensive impact is minimal for a 29-minute player. Not generating enough contests, rim protection, or forced turnovers to move the needle.

Performance has dropped off. First-half impact: -0.1, second-half: -6.1. Worth watching whether it's fatigue, injury, or opponents adjusting.
