Where the gap is

from the numbers above

Bennedict Mathurin scored more in 2026-27, 0.1 points a game apart (6.0 vs 5.9), on Mathurin's heavier usage (18.3% vs 15.9%).

Mathurin is the more efficient scorer by true shooting, 50.6% to 38.9%; TS% folds threes and free throws into one number, so the gap survives shot-diet differences.

Playmaking goes to Richardson (2.7 vs 1.4 assists), the glass to Richardson (2.1 vs 2.1 rebounds).

With Mathurin on the floor his team outscored opponents by -4.1 per 100 possessions, against -7.3 for Richardson; on-court net rating carries the teammates with it, so read it next to PIE.

On the books for 2026-27: Mathurin $7.8M through 2027-28, Richardson $3.1M through 2028-29. Whether either fits a trade is a Trade Machine question, not a stat one.
