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
Quinten Post's opening stretch was defined by extreme stylistic whiplash, oscillating wildly between a transformative stretch-five and a situational defensive liability. Look at his perplexing outing vs DEN on 11/07. He poured in 14 points on flawless 6-for-6 shooting, yet posted a -1.1 impact score because his atrocious drop coverage bled points on the other end. Conversely, his jumper completely abandoned him vs POR on 11/21. He scored just 7 points on an ugly 1-for-5 mark from deep, but still manufactured a +4.6 impact by salvaging the reserve unit with disciplined interior defense. When he actually managed to fuse his floor-spacing with defensive verticality, he looked like a genuine difference-maker. He warped the entire opposing scheme vs PHX on 11/04, knocking down four threes to generate a massive +11.0 impact score. The physical tools are clearly there for him to survive as a modern big, provided he stops settling for rushed perimeter looks on the nights his touch is absent.
A maddening addiction to the three-point line defined this stretch for Quinten Post, turning him into a highly volatile rotation piece. When his jumper actually fell, he looked like a lethal weapon. He completely broke the opposing defensive scheme on 12/07 vs CHI, burying five triples for 19 points to earn a massive +10.3 impact score. But that floor-spacing gravity often became a trap. During the 01/02 vs OKC matchup, Post tallied a respectable 11 points but still posted a -2.9 impact score. He fell in love with the deep ball, and a barrage of perimeter misses (1-for-6 from three) actively hurt the offense rather than helping it. He was actually far more valuable when he simply did the dirty work. Look at his 12/22 vs ORL performance; he scored just 8 points, yet generated a +3.3 impact rating by grabbing 12 rebounds and creating crucial second-chance opportunities with a +3.5 hustle score.
Quinten Post’s midseason stretch was defined by a jarring demotion to the bench and extreme volatility as a floor-spacing big. Early on, he looked like a genuine weapon, logging a +9.5 impact score on 01/19 vs MIA by operating as a lethal pick-and-pop threat who completely warped the opposing defense. But as the season wore on, his shot selection deteriorated and his offensive aggression vanished. Look no further than his brutal -8.0 impact mark on 03/09 vs UTA. Despite scraping together 10 points, a disastrous 0-for-6 night from beyond the arc tanked his value as he stubbornly settled for contested perimeter jumpers instead of working the interior. His passivity reached its absolute nadir on 03/05 vs HOU, where total offensive invisibility and just three points yielded a ghastly -10.7 impact score. When his jumper connects, his gravity opens the floor. When it misses, his refusal to establish deep position turns him into a glaring liability.
