Where the gap is

from the numbers above

Miles Kelly scored more in 2025-26, 0.2 points a game apart (3.1 vs 2.9), on James's heavier usage (16.3% vs 14.4%).

James is the more efficient scorer by true shooting, 51.7% to 48.4%; TS% folds threes and free throws into one number, so the gap survives shot-diet differences.

Playmaking goes to James (1.2 vs 0.9 assists), the glass to Kelly (1.7 vs 0.5 rebounds).

Availability is part of the comparison: James played 28 more games (42 vs 14 of 82).

With Kelly on the floor his team outscored opponents by -5.1 per 100 possessions, against -8.0 for James; 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, Kelly — through —. Whether either fits a trade is a Trade Machine question, not a stat one.
