Where the gap is

from the numbers above

Will Richard scored more in 2025-26, 0.2 points a game apart (6.4 vs 6.2), on Caruso's heavier usage (15.2% vs 12.3%).

Richard is the more efficient scorer by true shooting, 59.6% to 54.0%; TS% folds threes and free throws into one number, so the gap survives shot-diet differences.

Playmaking goes to Caruso (2.0 vs 1.3 assists), the glass to Caruso (2.8 vs 2.5 rebounds).

Availability is part of the comparison: Richard played 13 more games (69 vs 56 of 82).

With Caruso on the floor his team outscored opponents by +17.6 per 100 possessions, against -3.3 for Richard; on-court net rating carries the teammates with it, so read it next to PIE.

On the books for 2026-27: Caruso $19.6M through 2028-29, Richard $2.2M through 2028-29. Whether either fits a trade is a Trade Machine question, not a stat one.
