Where the gap is

from the numbers above

Kelly Oubre Jr. scored more in 2025-26, 0.3 points a game apart (14.1 vs 13.8), on Bailey's heavier usage (21.0% vs 17.9%).

Oubre Jr. is the more efficient scorer by true shooting, 58.0% to 53.3%; TS% folds threes and free throws into one number, so the gap survives shot-diet differences.

Playmaking goes to Bailey (1.8 vs 1.6 assists), the glass to Oubre Jr. (5.0 vs 4.2 rebounds).

Availability is part of the comparison: Bailey played 22 more games (72 vs 50 of 82).

With Oubre Jr. on the floor his team outscored opponents by -1.9 per 100 possessions, against -10.7 for Bailey; on-court net rating carries the teammates with it, so read it next to PIE.

On the books for 2026-27: Bailey $9.5M through 2028-29, Oubre Jr. $8.1M through 2027-28. Whether either fits a trade is a Trade Machine question, not a stat one.
