Where the gap is

from the numbers above

Cooper Flagg scored more in 2025-26, 0.8 points a game apart (21.0 vs 20.2), on Miller's heavier usage (27.2% vs 26.4%).

Miller is the more efficient scorer by true shooting, 57.4% to 54.8%; TS% folds threes and free throws into one number, so the gap survives shot-diet differences.

Playmaking goes to Flagg (4.5 vs 3.3 assists), the glass to Flagg (6.7 vs 4.9 rebounds).

With Miller on the floor his team outscored opponents by +8.5 per 100 possessions, against -5.2 for Flagg; on-court net rating carries the teammates with it, so read it next to PIE.

On the books for 2026-27: Miller $15.1M through 2026-27, Flagg $14.5M through 2028-29. Whether either fits a trade is a Trade Machine question, not a stat one.
