Where the gap is

from the numbers above

Chaz Lanier scored more in 2025-26, 0.2 points a game apart (2.4 vs 2.2), on Martin's heavier usage (18.5% vs 14.7%).

Efficiency is a wash: true shooting within a point of each other (43.7% vs 43.6%).

Playmaking goes to Lanier (0.5 vs 0.5 assists), the glass to Martin (0.9 vs 0.7 rebounds).

Availability is part of the comparison: Lanier played 11 more games (34 vs 23 of 82).

With Lanier on the floor his team outscored opponents by +2.0 per 100 possessions, against -5.8 for Martin; on-court net rating carries the teammates with it, so read it next to PIE.

On the books for 2026-27: Martin $2.2M through 2027-28, Lanier $2.2M through 2028-29. Whether either fits a trade is a Trade Machine question, not a stat one.
