Where the gap is

from the numbers above

Josh Giddey scored more in 2025-26, 0.1 points a game apart (17.0 vs 16.9), on Giddey's heavier usage (23.8% vs 23.3%).

Efficiency is a wash: true shooting within a point of each other (56.4% vs 56.2%).

Playmaking goes to Giddey (9.1 vs 7.7 assists), the glass to Giddey (8.3 vs 2.8 rebounds).

With Giddey on the floor his team outscored opponents by -5.0 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, Giddey $25.0M through 2028-29. Whether either fits a trade is a Trade Machine question, not a stat one.
