Where the gap is

from the numbers above

Bronny James scored more in 2026-27, 0.0 points a game apart (0.8 vs 0.8), on James's heavier usage (13.9% vs 7.3%).

James is the more efficient scorer by true shooting, 66.7% to 42.5%; TS% folds threes and free throws into one number, so the gap survives shot-diet differences.

Playmaking goes to Morales (0.3 vs 0.0 assists), the glass to Morales (1.3 vs 0.0 rebounds).

With Morales on the floor his team outscored opponents by +4.0 per 100 possessions, against -92.3 for James; on-court net rating carries the teammates with it, so read it next to PIE.

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