Where the gap is

from the numbers above

Brandon Miller scored more in 2025-26, 0.9 points a game apart (20.2 vs 19.3), on Miller's heavier usage (27.2% vs 25.4%).

Barrett is the more efficient scorer by true shooting, 58.5% to 57.4%; TS% folds threes and free throws into one number, so the gap survives shot-diet differences.

Playmaking goes to Barrett (3.3 vs 3.3 assists), the glass to Barrett (5.3 vs 4.9 rebounds).

Availability is part of the comparison: Miller played 8 more games (65 vs 57 of 82).

With Miller on the floor his team outscored opponents by +8.5 per 100 possessions, against +4.9 for Barrett; 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, Barrett $29.6M through 2026-27. Whether either fits a trade is a Trade Machine question, not a stat one.
