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

Johnny Furphy’s early season was defined by severe growing pains as he clumsily transitioned from an invisible bench warmer to a highly volatile starter. His absolute floor arrived on 12/03 vs DEN, where he logged 16 minutes without attempting a single shot, resulting in a brutal -8.1 impact score driven entirely by extreme offensive passivity. Even when he found an efficient scoring rhythm, hidden costs often dragged him down. During the 12/26 vs BOS matchup, he tallied 9 points on 3-of-5 shooting, yet still posted a dreadful -6.0 impact score because defensive frailties at the point of attack completely erased his offensive production. Eventually, Furphy realized he had to embrace the dirty work. On 01/06 vs CLE, he scored a modest 9 points but generated a +1.8 impact score by grabbing 11 rebounds and utilizing relentless positioning to keep possessions alive. He remains a frustratingly raw prospect, but learning to leverage his hustle gives him a fighting chance to survive in an NBA rotation.

IMPACT TIMELINE

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

Jan 31 | -14.1 impact

PATTERNS

Below-average consistency. Furphy is negative impact in 71% of games, with scoring moving ~4 points game-to-game.

Middle-of-the-road efficiency — shoots 45%+ from the field in 67% of games. Not automatic, but not a problem either.

Good defender on his best nights, but it comes and goes. Some games Furphy locks in defensively, others he gets picked apart.

Flat trajectory all season — first-half impact -2.1, second-half -3.4. No major shifts, which fits with the overall steadiness.

In a rough stretch — 6 straight games with negative impact. Longest cold streak this season: 6 games.
