Where the gap is

from the numbers above

Klay Thompson scored more in 2025-26, 0.0 points a game apart (11.7 vs 11.7), on Thompson's heavier usage (21.4% vs 19.3%).

Thompson is the more efficient scorer by true shooting, 54.1% to 53.1%; TS% folds threes and free throws into one number, so the gap survives shot-diet differences.

Playmaking goes to Coulibaly (2.6 vs 1.4 assists), the glass to Coulibaly (4.3 vs 2.1 rebounds).

Availability is part of the comparison: Thompson played 13 more games (69 vs 56 of 82).

With Thompson on the floor his team outscored opponents by -4.7 per 100 possessions, against -12.8 for Coulibaly; on-court net rating carries the teammates with it, so read it next to PIE.

On the books for 2026-27: Coulibaly $9.2M through 2026-27, Thompson $17.5M through 2027-28. Whether either fits a trade is a Trade Machine question, not a stat one.
