Where the gap is

from the numbers above

Ben Sheppard scored more in 2025-26, 0.2 points a game apart (7.1 vs 6.9), on Green's heavier usage (14.3% vs 13.1%).

Green is the more efficient scorer by true shooting, 60.7% to 56.1%; TS% folds threes and free throws into one number, so the gap survives shot-diet differences.

Playmaking goes to Sheppard (1.8 vs 0.7 assists), the glass to Sheppard (3.0 vs 2.8 rebounds).

Availability is part of the comparison: Green played 17 more games (82 vs 65 of 82).

With Green on the floor his team outscored opponents by +7.6 per 100 possessions, against -8.8 for Sheppard; on-court net rating carries the teammates with it, so read it next to PIE.

On the books for 2026-27: Sheppard $5.0M through 2026-27, Green $3.9M through 2026-27. Whether either fits a trade is a Trade Machine question, not a stat one.
