Where the gap is

from the numbers above

Murphy III is the more efficient scorer by true shooting, 61.3% to 56.9%; TS% folds threes and free throws into one number, so the gap survives shot-diet differences.

Playmaking goes to Sengun (6.2 vs 3.8 assists), the glass to Sengun (8.9 vs 5.7 rebounds).

With Sengun on the floor his team outscored opponents by +3.4 per 100 possessions, against -3.6 for Murphy III; on-court net rating carries the teammates with it, so read it next to PIE.

On the books for 2026-27: Sengun — through —, Murphy III $27.0M through 2028-29. Whether either fits a trade is a Trade Machine question, not a stat one.
