Where the gap is

from the numbers above

Chaz Lanier scored more in 2025-26, 0.5 points a game apart (2.4 vs 1.9), on Lanier's heavier usage (14.7% vs 14.3%).

Thiero is the more efficient scorer by true shooting, 57.8% to 43.6%; TS% folds threes and free throws into one number, so the gap survives shot-diet differences.

Playmaking goes to Lanier (0.5 vs 0.4 assists), the glass to Thiero (1.1 vs 0.7 rebounds).

Availability is part of the comparison: Lanier played 9 more games (34 vs 25 of 82).

With Lanier on the floor his team outscored opponents by +2.0 per 100 possessions, against -13.2 for Thiero; on-court net rating carries the teammates with it, so read it next to PIE.

On the books for 2026-27: Thiero $2.2M through 2027-28, Lanier $2.2M through 2028-29. Whether either fits a trade is a Trade Machine question, not a stat one.
