Where the gap is

from the numbers above

Bennedict Mathurin scored more in 2025-26, 0.6 points a game apart (17.6 vs 17.0), on Mathurin's heavier usage (24.6% vs 23.8%).

Mathurin is the more efficient scorer by true shooting, 57.5% to 56.2%; TS% folds threes and free throws into one number, so the gap survives shot-diet differences.

Playmaking goes to Giddey (9.1 vs 2.4 assists), the glass to Giddey (8.3 vs 5.4 rebounds).

With Mathurin on the floor his team outscored opponents by -3.9 per 100 possessions, against -5.0 for Giddey; 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, Giddey $25.0M through 2028-29. Whether either fits a trade is a Trade Machine question, not a stat one.
