Tristan da Silva

Executive Summary

Tristan da Silva is a player for the Magic, ranking in the 75th percentile league-wide by Baseline Impact Score (65). In 25 minutes per game across 67 starts, Tristan produces 9.8/3.7/1.5 (pts/reb/ast).

Current Form & Trajectory

Live Form Index: 99 — elite recent performance, ranking top 5% of the league. Currently riding a hot streak (+33.3 LFI) that shows fragility markers. The elevated production may partly reflect favorable matchups or unsustainable shot-making luck (high-difficulty shots falling at above-expected rates). Worth monitoring over the next 5-10 games for regression. If this form sustains for another 10+ games, his BIS projects to rise from 65 into the 77-83 range.

Scoring & Shot Profile

His playmaking efficiency (PEM 32) is a limitation — his value is context-dependent and drops when the supporting cast changes. Shooting 38.3% from three — reliable enough to keep defenses honest. Not a shot teams will live with if left open, which creates baseline spacing value.

Defensive Scouting Report

Defensive Reality Score (DRS 54) ranks right around league average among players. Functional wing defender who can hold up against most matchups. Not a stopper but won't be a liability. 0.9 SPG and 0.3 BPG.

Off-Ball Value

Gravity & Off-Ball Impact (GOI 74) ranks well above league average among players. He contributes meaningful off-ball value through cutting, screening actions, and movement. The result is that Tristan doesn't need the ball to positively impact the offense — lineups with him space the floor better than his usage numbers suggest.

Key Matchup Insight

Tristan's off-ball gravity (GOI 74) makes him uniquely valuable in playoff matchups where half-court execution matters most. His shooting threat forces defenses to account for him even without the ball, opening up actions for primary creators.
