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
Collin Murray-Boyles's first twenty games were a wildly erratic rollercoaster defined by the stark contrast between his defensive ceiling and his offensive indiscipline. When he embraced his physical tools, he was an absolute revelation. Look no further than 11/02 vs MEM, where he posted 15 points and 9 rebounds alongside a staggering +15.8 impact score by using textbook verticality and switchability to completely neutralize the interior. He could even tilt the floor without scoring. On 11/29 vs CHA, he managed a +3.1 impact with just a single point by entirely abandoning his scoring role to anchor the defense and make crucial hustle plays. Yet, when he drifted away from the basket, the results were disastrous. During a brief stint on 11/26 vs IND, he generated a brutal -6.0 impact in merely 8 minutes because he settled for forced, out-of-rhythm perimeter shots that killed the offense. He is a tantalizing talent, but he must realize his true value lies in bruising screens and rim deterrence rather than contested jumpers.
Moving from a bench piece to a full-time starter transformed Collin Murray-Boyles into an indispensable two-way anchor. Look no further than his brilliant performance on 01/07 vs CHA, where he scored just four points but generated a massive +14.1 impact score. He controlled the game entirely through non-scoring value, dominating the glass with 15 rebounds and executing elite defensive rotations. When he actively hunted his own offense, the results were devastating. On 01/05 vs ATL, he poured in 17 points and dished 7 assists, earning a staggering +19.2 impact score by putting on an absolute clinic in rim-running and finishing through contact. Yet, there were still nights where hidden costs ruined his effectiveness. During the 01/16 vs LAC matchup, he managed a respectable 11 points but posted a -3.4 impact score because he rushed his reads in traffic and forced ugly attempts.
