Where the gap is

from the numbers above

Bronny James scored more in 2025-26, 0.2 points a game apart (2.9 vs 2.7), on James's heavier usage (16.3% vs 8.2%).

Harris is the more efficient scorer by true shooting, 59.3% to 51.7%; TS% folds threes and free throws into one number, so the gap survives shot-diet differences.

Playmaking goes to James (1.2 vs 1.1 assists), the glass to Harris (1.3 vs 0.5 rebounds).

With James on the floor his team outscored opponents by -8.0 per 100 possessions, against -9.6 for Harris; on-court net rating carries the teammates with it, so read it next to PIE.

On the books for 2026-27: James $2.3M through 2027-28, Harris $3.8M through 2026-27. Whether either fits a trade is a Trade Machine question, not a stat one.
