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
Andrew Wiggins's opening stretch of the 2025-26 campaign was defined by maddening inconsistency, oscillating violently between two-way masterclasses and offensive disasters. When fully engaged, he was an absolute wrecking ball. He peaked on 11/29 vs DET with a massive +20.9 impact score, driven by sheer defensive dominance and a hyper-efficient 31 points. Yet, his box scores frequently lied. During an outing on 11/12 vs CLE, he tallied 17 points, nine rebounds, and six assists, but still registered a dismal -6.4 impact because those empty calories hid significant off-ball awareness lapses. Sometimes, the inverse was true. On 12/05 vs ORL, Wiggins managed just 13 points, but strong defensive positioning and timely hustle plays buoyed his impact to a respectable +3.4. To become a reliable wing again, he must permanently shelve the contested jumpers that repeatedly sabotage his efficiency and fully commit to the gritty details.
Andrew Wiggins's midseason stretch was defined by maddening inconsistency, oscillating violently between two-way dominance and completely hollow offensive production. When fully engaged, he was an absolute wrecking ball. He peaked on 12/27 vs IND, posting a massive +22.0 impact score driven by searing perimeter shooting and relentless hustle. Yet, his focus frequently vanished, turning high-scoring nights into net negatives for his team. Take his 23-point outburst on 01/11 vs OKC. Despite catching fire from deep, his overall impact slipped to -0.7 because costly defensive lapses routinely surrendered whatever value he generated on the other end. Conversely, Wiggins was often more valuable when he simply stopped forcing contested looks. On 01/10 vs IND, he managed only 11 points but still generated a highly positive +7.3 impact by attacking favorable matchups and committing to efficient shot selection.
Andrew Wiggins spent this twenty-game stretch riding a frustrating seesaw of brilliant two-way execution and baffling offensive decisions. When he engaged as a lockdown defender and selective shooter, he was utterly dominant. Look no further than 02/21 vs MEM, where a masterclass in shot selection and a highly efficient 9-for-10 shooting night drove a staggering +18.3 impact score. Yet, he frequently sabotaged his own value when he forced the issue. During 01/30 vs CHI, he scored 17 points but dragged his team down with a dismal -5.5 impact because a massive volume of clanked perimeter shots completely erased his defensive metrics. Fortunately, Wiggins also realized he didn't need a heavy scoring load to dictate a game. On 02/08 vs WAS, he managed just 11 points but generated a stellar +9.7 impact by crashing the glass for 10 rebounds and anchoring the wing with hyper-active hands.
IMPACT TIMELINE
Game-by-game performance vs average. Green = above average, red = below.
Boom-or-bust player. Wiggins's impact swings wildly relative to his average — some nights dominant, others invisible. Scoring varies by ~6 points per game.
Middle-of-the-road efficiency — shoots 45%+ from the field in 56% of games. Not automatic, but not a problem either.
Defensive difference-maker. Wiggins consistently forces tough shots and protects the rim — opponents shoot worse when he's guarding them.
Tends to go on runs. Longest hot streak: 8 games. Longest cold streak: 3 games.
