Where the gap is

from the numbers above

P.J. Washington scored more in 2025-26, 0.4 points a game apart (14.2 vs 13.8), on Bailey's heavier usage (21.0% vs 19.4%).

Efficiency is a wash: true shooting within a point of each other (53.3% vs 53.7%).

Playmaking goes to Washington (1.8 vs 1.8 assists), the glass to Washington (7.0 vs 4.2 rebounds).

Availability is part of the comparison: Bailey played 16 more games (72 vs 56 of 82).

With Washington on the floor his team outscored opponents by -7.3 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, Washington $19.8M through 2029-30. Whether either fits a trade is a Trade Machine question, not a stat one.
