CourtVision Scouting Report

Kam Jones is a limited contributor for IND — BIS 36 ranks below league average

—IND

Executive Summary

Kam Jones is a player for the Pacers, ranking in the 32th percentile league-wide by Baseline Impact Score (36). In 15 minutes per game across 30 starts, Kam produces 4.1/1.4/2.7 (pts/reb/ast).

Current Form & Trajectory

Live Form Index: 52 — average recent performance, ranking right around league average. Performance has been remarkably consistent — no significant deviation from season baseline. Kam is doing exactly what he's done all year, no more, no less. Predictable and reliable.

Scoring & Shot Profile

The three-point shot at 30.9% is functional but inconsistent. Defenses will go under screens and sag off, limiting his ability to collapse the defense as a primary ballhandler. The 41.5% field goal clip is concerning — either the shot diet is too difficult, or finishing/touch needs work. This inefficiency costs the offense roughly 0-0 points of production per game.

Defensive Scouting Report

Defensive Reality Score (DRS 38) ranks below league average among players. Defensive effort and ability are below average for a wing (DRS 38). Gets caught on screens, struggles in isolation against quicker guards, and provides minimal weak-side help. Improving lateral quickness and defensive effort would have an outsized impact on his overall value.

Off-Ball Value

Gravity & Off-Ball Impact (GOI 36) ranks below league average among players.

Key Matchup Insight

Against elite defenses (DRS 75+), Kam's scoring typically drops 15-20% from his baseline because his defensive weakness (DRS 38) forces coaches into net-negative lineup math. In those matchups, he's a high-volume scorer who gets hunted on the other end — his team must outscore the problem.

The Verdict

Kam fills a limited niche for the Pacers (BIS 36, below league average). His value is real but narrow — a developing piece who needs measurable improvement to hold a rotation spot on a contending team.

Projection

If Kam's three-point shooting improves from 31% to league-average (36%), his BIS projects to jump from 36 to approximately 44.
