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
Tre Johnson’s first twenty games of the 2025-26 campaign were defined by empty-calorie scoring and agonizing defensive lapses. Look no further than his 11/07 vs CLE performance. Despite pouring in 19 points on highly efficient shooting, he posted a dismal -7.6 impact score because he constantly lost his man on back-door cuts. This frustrating pattern of hidden costs routinely dragged down his raw production. Too often, as seen when he recorded a -4.5 impact on 12/26 vs TOR, his tunnel vision in isolation situations stalled the entire offense and generated empty possessions. Yet, when he actually bought into a physical, downhill mentality, the results completely flipped. During a 12/21 vs SAS matchup, he decisively attacked closeouts and finished through contact to earn a stellar +10.6 impact rating. Until he permanently cleans up the ill-advised jumpers and commits to off-ball engagement, his minutes will remain a chaotic gamble.
Tre Johnson’s midseason stretch was defined by maddening volatility and empty-calorie scoring outbursts. He frequently hunted his own shot at the expense of offensive flow and defensive integrity. Look no further than the 01/24 vs CHA matchup, where he poured in 26 points but posted a dismal -6.0 impact score because he needed a massive 22 attempts and actively damaged the offense with severe shot-chucking tendencies. His tunnel vision hit rock bottom on 01/17 vs DEN. He forced heavily contested looks all night, finishing with just 4 points on 1-for-10 shooting to drag his overall rating down to a disastrous -11.2. Yet, when he actually bought into the dirty work, the results flipped entirely. During the 02/20 vs IND game, Johnson only scored 14 points but drove a stellar +6.7 impact by injecting relentless off-ball movement and aggressive defensive closeouts into the lineup. He clearly has the raw talent to tilt a game, but he must realize that mindless volume shooting is actively harming his actual value.
IMPACT TIMELINE
Game-by-game performance vs average. Green = above average, red = below.
Inconsistent. Johnson has clear good-night/bad-night splits, with scoring swinging ~5 points between games. You're never quite sure which version shows up.
Middle-of-the-road efficiency — shoots 45%+ from the field in 44% 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.
Small downward trend. First-half impact: -3.2, second-half: -5.8. Not alarming yet, but trending the wrong direction.
In a rough stretch — 9 straight games with negative impact. Longest cold streak this season: 11 games.
