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

Malevy Leons's early-season stretch was defined by wild swings between game-changing hustle and complete offensive invisibility. When fully engaged, he was a massive plus off the bench, peaking on 02/25 vs MEM with a +7.6 impact score generated by decisive reads and a relentless eight-rebound effort. Scoring wasn't always required for him to be effective. During his lone start on 03/15 vs NYK, Leons shot a brutal 1-for-7 from the floor for just two points, but he still scraped out a +0.1 impact because his relentless off-ball activity kept the lineup afloat. Yet, hitting shots didn't always guarantee positive value. On 03/20 vs DET, he chipped in a highly efficient five points on just three shots, but opposing guards ruthlessly hunted him in pick-and-roll coverage to drag his overall impact down to -1.9. To stick in a stable NBA rotation, Leons must bridge the massive gap between his disruptive defensive peaks and his damaging lapses in awareness.

IMPACT TIMELINE

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

PATTERNS

Boom-or-bust player. Leons's impact swings wildly relative to his average — some nights dominant, others invisible. Scoring varies by ~3 points per game.

Streaky shooter — only cracks 45% from the field in 40% of games. Efficiency is all over the place night-to-night.

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

Small downward trend. First-half impact: +0.8, second-half: -1.1. Not alarming yet, but trending the wrong direction.
