Where the gap is

from the numbers above

Dru Smith scored more in 2025-26, 0.1 points a game apart (5.6 vs 5.5), on Smith's heavier usage (14.2% vs 11.7%).

Scheierman is the more efficient scorer by true shooting, 61.6% to 53.2%; TS% folds threes and free throws into one number, so the gap survives shot-diet differences.

Playmaking goes to Smith (2.6 vs 1.5 assists), the glass to Scheierman (3.5 vs 2.5 rebounds).

With Scheierman on the floor his team outscored opponents by +7.3 per 100 possessions, against -3.2 for Smith; on-court net rating carries the teammates with it, so read it next to PIE.

On the books for 2026-27: Scheierman $2.7M through 2027-28, Smith $2.6M through 2027-28. Whether either fits a trade is a Trade Machine question, not a stat one.
