Where the gap is

from the numbers above

Noah Penda scored more in 2025-26, 0.6 points a game apart (3.8 vs 3.2), on Penda's heavier usage (14.0% vs 11.7%).

Coffey is the more efficient scorer by true shooting, 59.4% to 50.6%; TS% folds threes and free throws into one number, so the gap survives shot-diet differences.

Playmaking goes to Penda (1.2 vs 0.6 assists), the glass to Penda (3.2 vs 1.2 rebounds).

Availability is part of the comparison: Penda played 13 more games (59 vs 46 of 82).

With Coffey on the floor his team outscored opponents by -2.2 per 100 possessions, against -3.0 for Penda; on-court net rating carries the teammates with it, so read it next to PIE.

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