Where the gap is

from the numbers above

Jamal Murray scored more in 2025-26, 5.2 points a game apart (25.4 vs 20.2), on Miller's heavier usage (27.2% vs 26.9%).

Murray is the more efficient scorer by true shooting, 62.2% to 57.4%; TS% folds threes and free throws into one number, so the gap survives shot-diet differences.

Playmaking goes to Murray (7.1 vs 3.3 assists), the glass to Miller (4.9 vs 4.4 rebounds).

Availability is part of the comparison: Murray played 10 more games (75 vs 65 of 82).

With Miller on the floor his team outscored opponents by +8.5 per 100 possessions, against +6.8 for Murray; 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, Murray $50.1M through 2028-29. Whether either fits a trade is a Trade Machine question, not a stat one.
