Where the gap is

from the numbers above

Payton Pritchard scored more in 2025-26, 0.1 points a game apart (17.0 vs 16.9), on Nembhard's heavier usage (23.3% vs 21.0%).

Pritchard is the more efficient scorer by true shooting, 58.4% 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 5.2 assists), the glass to Pritchard (3.9 vs 2.8 rebounds).

Availability is part of the comparison: Pritchard played 22 more games (79 vs 57 of 82).

With Pritchard on the floor his team outscored opponents by +8.0 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, Pritchard $7.8M through 2027-28. Whether either fits a trade is a Trade Machine question, not a stat one.
