Castle is the more efficient scorer by true shooting, 57.5% to 56.4%; TS% folds threes and free throws into one number, so the gap survives shot-diet differences.

Availability is part of the comparison: Castle played 11 more games (68 vs 57 of 82).

With Castle on the floor his team outscored opponents by +9.8 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, Castle $10.0M through 2027-28. Whether either fits a trade is a Trade Machine question, not a stat one.
