from the numbers above

Trey Murphy III scored more in 2025-26, 1.4 points a game apart (21.5 vs 20.1), on Adebayo's heavier usage (24.8% vs 22.3%).

Murphy III is the more efficient scorer by true shooting, 61.3% to 55.1%; TS% folds threes and free throws into one number, so the gap survives shot-diet differences.

Playmaking goes to Murphy III (3.8 vs 3.2 assists), the glass to Adebayo (10.0 vs 5.7 rebounds).

With Adebayo on the floor his team outscored opponents by +6.1 per 100 possessions, against -3.6 for Murphy III; on-court net rating carries the teammates with it, so read it next to PIE.

On the books for 2026-27: Adebayo $49.8M through 2028-29, Murphy III $27.0M through 2028-29. Whether either fits a trade is a Trade Machine question, not a stat one.
