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
Gary Harris spent the first twenty games of the season battling extreme offensive passivity, oscillating between a gritty defensive specialist and an invisible liability. He occasionally managed to salvage his minutes without scoring a single point. On 11/29 vs BKN, elite point-of-attack defense and high-motor hustle plays generated a +3.2 impact despite an ugly 0-for-4 shooting night. However, his refusal to look at the basket routinely crippled the larger offensive ecosystem. During a disastrous -14.4 impact performance on 12/05 vs PHI, his complete lack of aggression allowed defenders to mercilessly double-team the primary ball handlers. Even when he actually knocked down shots, hidden costs often dragged him down. On 11/28 vs NYK, he scored 5 points on 1-of-2 shooting, but his extreme reluctance to engage offensively doomed his overall rating to a rough -6.5 impact.
Extreme offensive passivity and a rapidly shrinking rotational footprint defined this brutal stretch of basketball for Gary Harris. He frequently floated through his minutes like a ghost, bottoming out during a 01/27 vs PHI matchup where his refusal to attempt a single shot resulted in an abysmal -8.9 impact score. The disappearing act struck again on 02/09 vs ORL, as he failed to record a single point, rebound, or assist en route to a -6.0 impact rating. When a guard completely lacks scoring gravity, it forces the rest of the lineup to play four-on-five offensively. Yet, Harris occasionally found ways to be useful without filling the box score, like his +2.9 impact performance on 02/27 vs NYK. Despite tallying just two points in that contest, he lifted his overall rating through relentless point-of-attack defensive pressure and textbook screen navigation. He flashed similar efficiency earlier on 12/26 vs MEM, generating a +5.4 impact score on just eight points by pairing flawless shot selection with opportunistic off-ball cuts.
