Where the gap is

from the numbers above

Adou Thiero scored more in 2025-26, 0.7 points a game apart (1.9 vs 1.2), on Thiero's heavier usage (14.3% vs 10.6%).

Thiero is the more efficient scorer by true shooting, 57.8% to 30.8%; TS% folds threes and free throws into one number, so the gap survives shot-diet differences.

Playmaking goes to Lowry (0.8 vs 0.4 assists), the glass to Thiero (1.1 vs 0.6 rebounds).

Availability is part of the comparison: Thiero played 11 more games (25 vs 14 of 82).

With Thiero on the floor his team outscored opponents by -13.2 per 100 possessions, against -18.0 for Lowry; 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, Lowry — through —. Whether either fits a trade is a Trade Machine question, not a stat one.
