Where the gap is

from the numbers above

Jordan McLaughlin scored more in 2025-26, 0.1 points a game apart (2.0 vs 1.9), on McLaughlin's heavier usage (14.3% vs 14.3%).

Thiero is the more efficient scorer by true shooting, 57.8% to 54.2%; TS% folds threes and free throws into one number, so the gap survives shot-diet differences.

Playmaking goes to McLaughlin (0.9 vs 0.4 assists), the glass to Thiero (1.1 vs 0.7 rebounds).

Availability is part of the comparison: McLaughlin played 19 more games (44 vs 25 of 82).

With McLaughlin on the floor his team outscored opponents by -11.5 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, McLaughlin $2.4M through 2026-27. Whether either fits a trade is a Trade Machine question, not a stat one.
