PATTERNS

Struggling. Topić has posted negative impact in 100% of games this season. The production rarely outweighs the cost.

Getting better as the season goes on. First-half impact: -10.2, second-half: -5.0. That's a significant jump — could be a role change, confidence, or development clicking.

In a rough stretch — 19 straight games with negative impact. Longest cold streak this season: 19 games.
