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

PATTERNS

Struggling. Mbeng has posted negative impact in 100% of games this season. The production rarely outweighs the cost.

Defensive difference-maker. Mbeng consistently forces tough shots and protects the rim — opponents shoot worse when he's guarding them.

Getting better as the season goes on. First-half impact: -8.4, second-half: -4.2. That's a significant jump — could be a role change, confidence, or development clicking.

In a rough stretch — 12 straight games with negative impact. Longest cold streak this season: 12 games.
