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
Draymond Green’s early season was defined by a severe offensive identity crisis that actively sabotaged his team on the floor. He swung wildly between paralyzing passivity and disastrous shot selection. During the 11/04 vs PHX matchup, his absolute refusal to look at the rim yielded a dismal -13.5 impact score, as his hesitation allowed defenders to play five-on-four and stall the offense entirely. Even when he occasionally found his scoring touch, hidden costs still ruined his value. He dropped 13 points on 12/02 vs OKC, but his impact plummeted to -9.2 because uncharacteristic defensive lapses completely erased his aggressive offensive output. He remained capable of flipping a game without filling the cup, generating a stellar +7.8 impact on 10/28 vs LAC with just 7 points by blowing up pick-and-rolls and masterfully directing the defensive scheme. Unfortunately, those vintage defensive masterclasses were rare bright spots in a brutal slump marred by crippling hesitation and careless turnovers.
A maddening offensive identity crisis defined this stretch, as erratic scoring gravity routinely sabotaged Green's elite defensive anchoring. Hesitation is a killer in the modern NBA. The absolute floor arrived on 01/28 vs UTA, where a scoreless night on 0/6 shooting allowed defenders to completely abandon him, resulting in a catastrophic -12.1 impact score. However, he occasionally salvaged his value without putting the ball in the basket. On 01/24 vs MIN, he scored just two points but still managed a +0.9 impact because his elite backline communication held the defense together. Yet, even when the scoring appeared robust, hidden costs frequently dragged his rating into the red. Despite tallying 15 points on 01/30 vs DET, uncharacteristic defensive lapses and late rotations completely undermined his aggressive shooting, leaving him with a frustrating -4.2 impact.
A baffling obsession with the three-point line and agonizing offensive passivity defined this brutal midseason stretch for Draymond Green. Opposing defenses aggressively dared him to shoot, leading to disastrous results like his 02/19 vs BOS appearance. He hoisted five empty triples on his way to a scoreless night, cratering his overall value to a -14.6 impact score. Even when his perimeter shots actually fell, hidden costs dragged down his effectiveness. During the 02/09 vs MEM matchup, Green poured in 14 points on sharp 4-of-6 shooting from deep, yet still posted a -5.6 impact score because his hot hand masked severe underlying issues with his offensive execution. He only managed to flip the script when he abandoned the erratic jumper and leaned entirely into his elite processing. On 03/27 vs WAS, Green scored a meager six points but generated a brilliant +9.6 impact score by bringing high-level playmaking and dishing out 10 assists to perfectly orchestrate the half-court offense.
