PATTERNS

Struggling. Kawamura has posted negative impact in 94% of games this season. The production rarely outweighs the cost.

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

Flat trajectory all season — first-half impact -6.5, second-half -7.8. No major shifts, which fits with the overall steadiness.

In a rough stretch — 17 straight games with negative impact. Longest cold streak this season: 17 games.
