Where the gap is

from the numbers above

Andrew Nembhard scored more in 2025-26, 0.2 points a game apart (16.9 vs 16.7), on Murray's heavier usage (26.7% vs 23.3%).

Murray is the more efficient scorer by true shooting, 58.0% to 56.4%; TS% folds threes and free throws into one number, so the gap survives shot-diet differences.

Playmaking goes to Nembhard (7.7 vs 6.4 assists), the glass to Murray (5.4 vs 2.8 rebounds).

Availability is part of the comparison: Nembhard played 43 more games (57 vs 14 of 82).

With Murray on the floor his team outscored opponents by +1.3 per 100 possessions, against -10.0 for Nembhard; on-court net rating carries the teammates with it, so read it next to PIE.

On the books for 2026-27: Nembhard $19.6M through 2027-28, Murray $32.8M through 2027-28. Whether either fits a trade is a Trade Machine question, not a stat one.
