Where the gap is

from the numbers above

Anthony Gill scored more in 2025-26, 0.4 points a game apart (5.8 vs 5.4), on Cain's heavier usage (15.9% vs 11.6%).

Gill is the more efficient scorer by true shooting, 68.2% to 62.4%; TS% folds threes and free throws into one number, so the gap survives shot-diet differences.

Playmaking goes to Gill (1.3 vs 0.7 assists), the glass to Gill (2.9 vs 2.0 rebounds).

Availability is part of the comparison: Gill played 15 more games (55 vs 40 of 82).

With Cain on the floor his team outscored opponents by +4.5 per 100 possessions, against -14.4 for Gill; on-court net rating carries the teammates with it, so read it next to PIE.

On the books for 2026-27: Gill $2.4M through 2026-27, Cain $2.6M through 2026-27. Whether either fits a trade is a Trade Machine question, not a stat one.
