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

IMPACT TIMELINE

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

PATTERNS

Steady role player. Gibson's impact doesn't swing much in absolute terms, and he's positive in 57% of games. You know what you're getting.

Average defender. Gibson doesn't hurt you defensively, but he's not making opponents uncomfortable either.

Getting better as the season goes on. First-half impact: -1.3, second-half: +3.4. That's a significant jump — could be a role change, confidence, or development clicking.
