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

Jrue Holiday’s opening stretch of the season was defined by maddening volatility, wildly oscillating between masterful two-way orchestration and catastrophic shooting slumps. Even when he stuffed the traditional stat sheet, hidden costs frequently dragged down his overall effectiveness. During a 17-point, 12-assist outing on 11/12 vs NOP, a sheer volume of risky passes resulted in costly turnovers that tanked his impact to a disappointing -4.1. Conversely, when he dialed in his decision-making, he was an absolute maestro, punishing drop coverages with surgical precision on 10/27 vs LAL to pour in 24 points and drive a massive +14.1 impact score. Yet, Holiday remains a rare guard who can dictate a game without filling the scoring column. On 01/15 vs ATL, he managed just 12 points but still posted a stellar +9.1 impact because his elite point-of-attack defense and disruptive hands completely fractured the opposition. When he avoids settling for bad jumpers and limits the live-ball gambles, his two-way value is undeniable.

This twenty-game stretch was defined by maddening inconsistency, as Jrue Holiday oscillated violently between masterful orchestration and erratic, high-volume gunning. His worst habits surfaced on 02/11 vs MIN, where he poured in 23 points but posted a dismal -13.9 impact score. That dreadful mark stemmed entirely from terrible shot selection, as he hoisted 22 field goal attempts and masked his underlying inefficiency with empty counting stats. He bled value again on 02/24 vs MIN, managing 22 points but sinking to a -8.6 impact due to costly live-ball turnovers and sloppy transition defensive breakdowns. Yet, when he finally reined in the wild attempts, his ceiling remained astronomical. He put together an absolute masterclass on 03/04 vs MEM, racking up 35 points and 11 assists to drive a massive +15.2 impact. Scorching 8-for-11 shooting from beyond the arc broke the defense entirely, reminding everyone just how lethal his game can be when his decision-making matches his raw talent.

IMPACT TIMELINE

Game-by-game performance vs average. Green = above average, red = below.

PATTERNS

Boom-or-bust player. Holiday's impact swings wildly relative to his average — some nights dominant, others invisible. Scoring varies by ~7 points per game.

Middle-of-the-road efficiency — shoots 45%+ from the field in 55% of games. Not automatic, but not a problem either.

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