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

Keshad Johnson’s early season was defined by pure, unrefined chaos, oscillating between game-changing defensive hustle and catastrophic rotational mistakes. When channeled correctly, his energy was terrifying. During 10/24 vs MEM, he scored just 5 points but still generated a massive +3.2 impact score. He achieved this by maximizing his brief eight-minute stint with chaotic, high-energy defense that completely disrupted the opposition. Yet his lack of polish often stalled the offense. On 11/23 vs PHI, his complete offensive invisibility severely hampered the second unit's spacing, resulting in a brutal -8.7 impact score despite logging 19 minutes. Mental lapses also ruined his value on decent rebounding nights, like on 12/06 vs SAC. Despite grabbing 5 rebounds in 14 minutes, he suffered a dismal -6.9 impact score because he repeatedly got caught out of position and bled easy backdoor cuts.

PATTERNS

Steady role player. Johnson's impact doesn't swing much in absolute terms, and he's positive in 56% of games. You know what you're getting.

Middle-of-the-road efficiency — shoots 45%+ from the field in 50% of games. Not automatic, but not a problem either.

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

Flat trajectory all season — first-half impact -0.3, second-half +1.0. No major shifts, which fits with the overall steadiness.
