Where the gap is

from the numbers above

AJ Johnson scored more in 2025-26, 0.5 points a game apart (3.3 vs 2.8), on Johnson's heavier usage (19.5% vs 16.8%).

Christie is the more efficient scorer by true shooting, 48.4% to 41.3%; TS% folds threes and free throws into one number, so the gap survives shot-diet differences.

Playmaking goes to Johnson (1.0 vs 0.6 assists), the glass to Christie (1.4 vs 1.1 rebounds).

With Christie on the floor his team outscored opponents by -0.6 per 100 possessions, against -6.4 for Johnson; on-court net rating carries the teammates with it, so read it next to PIE.

On the books for 2026-27: Johnson $3.2M through 2027-28, Christie $2.3M through 2027-28. Whether either fits a trade is a Trade Machine question, not a stat one.
