Where the gap is

from the numbers above

Christian Koloko scored more in 2025-26, 0.5 points a game apart (2.7 vs 2.2), on Koloko's heavier usage (10.9% vs 10.4%).

Hukporti is the more efficient scorer by true shooting, 61.9% to 45.3%; TS% folds threes and free throws into one number, so the gap survives shot-diet differences.

Playmaking goes to Koloko (0.7 vs 0.5 assists), the glass to Koloko (3.0 vs 2.9 rebounds).

Availability is part of the comparison: Hukporti played 27 more games (54 vs 27 of 82).

With Hukporti on the floor his team outscored opponents by +3.1 per 100 possessions, against -1.3 for Koloko; on-court net rating carries the teammates with it, so read it next to PIE.

On the books for 2026-27: Hukporti $3.4M through 2026-27, Koloko $2.6M through 2026-27. Whether either fits a trade is a Trade Machine question, not a stat one.
