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
Micah Peavy’s first twenty games were defined by maddening offensive invisibility that constantly threatened to sabotage his rotation spot. When granted a rare start on 11/22 vs ATL, he completely unraveled. He posted a disastrous -13.4 impact score in that contest, driven by poor defensive awareness and catastrophic offensive execution. He occasionally found a rhythm, like his massive scoring eruption on 11/17 vs OKC where he dropped 16 points and earned a +6.6 impact by punishing defensive breakdowns. Yet even when the shots fell, his underlying value often cratered. During the 11/26 vs MEM matchup, Peavy tallied 11 points but still dragged his team into the red with a -1.1 impact score because his miserable perimeter spacing and missed threes heavily mitigated his scoring surge. Conversely, he occasionally salvaged his floor time without filling the stat sheet, scraping out a +1.3 impact on 11/12 vs POR with just 2 points by providing a stabilizing, low-mistake presence on the defensive wing. Unless he stops bricking wide-open looks and bleeding value through rushed attempts, Peavy will struggle to survive as a reliable NBA bench piece.
Micah Peavy’s midseason stretch was defined by a brutal, confidence-draining shooting slump that routinely sabotaged his team's offensive flow. He spent most nights building brick houses, perfectly encapsulated on 01/02 vs POR when he bricked multiple wide-open perimeter looks and shot a miserable 1-for-9 to post a dismal -11.0 impact score. Even when his shots actually fell, hidden costs often dragged down his overall value. During the 01/09 vs WAS matchup, he tallied an unexpected 9 points, but an otherwise negative footprint across the floor still resulted in a -4.3 impact score. Conversely, Peavy occasionally found ways to be highly effective without filling up the basket. On 12/23 vs CLE, he scored just 5 points but earned a +1.7 impact score because his aggressive point-of-attack defense completely disrupted the opponent. Ultimately, his persistent inability to hit open spot-up jumpers or navigate screens made him a frustrating liability on most nights.
IMPACT TIMELINE
Game-by-game performance vs average. Green = above average, red = below.
Inconsistent. Peavy has clear good-night/bad-night splits, with scoring swinging ~4 points between games. You're never quite sure which version shows up.
Streaky shooter — only cracks 45% from the field in 26% of games. Efficiency is all over the place night-to-night.
Good defender on his best nights, but it comes and goes. Some games Peavy locks in defensively, others he gets picked apart.
Tends to go on runs. Longest hot streak: 2 games. Longest cold streak: 6 games.
