Where the gap is

from the numbers above

Bones Hyland scored more in 2025-26, 0.1 points a game apart (8.5 vs 8.4), on Hyland's heavier usage (19.7% vs 13.1%).

Kennard is the more efficient scorer by true shooting, 68.9% to 59.9%; TS% folds threes and free throws into one number, so the gap survives shot-diet differences.

Playmaking goes to Hyland (2.6 vs 2.2 assists), the glass to Kennard (2.3 vs 1.8 rebounds).

With Hyland on the floor his team outscored opponents by +5.2 per 100 possessions, against +0.5 for Kennard; on-court net rating carries the teammates with it, so read it next to PIE.

On the books for 2026-27: Hyland $2.8M through 2026-27, Kennard $6.1M through 2027-28. Whether either fits a trade is a Trade Machine question, not a stat one.
