CourtVision Scouting Report

Lindy Waters III is a significant weakness this season — BIS 18 places him among the weakest in the league

—SAS

Executive Summary

Lindy Waters III is a player for the Spurs, ranking in the 11th percentile league-wide by Baseline Impact Score (18). In 7 minutes per game across 38 starts, Lindy produces 2.4/0.7/0.5 (pts/reb/ast).

Current Form & Trajectory

Live Form Index: 50 — below-average recent performance, ranking below league average.

Scoring & Shot Profile

His playmaking efficiency (PEM 29) is a limitation — his value is context-dependent and drops when the supporting cast changes. The three-point shot at 35.1% is functional but inconsistent. Defenses will go under screens and sag off, limiting his ability to collapse the defense as a primary ballhandler. The 38.6% 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 35) ranks below league average among players. Defensive effort and ability are below average for a wing (DRS 35). 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 39) ranks below league average among players.

The Verdict

Lindy is a significant weakness this season. At BIS 18 (among the weakest in the league), the production doesn't justify significant minutes on a competitive team. Either a role change or major skill development is needed to remain in the rotation.
