Where the gap is

from the numbers above

Nique Clifford scored more in 2026-27, 0.2 points a game apart (1.6 vs 1.4), on Clifford's heavier usage (19.0% vs 11.5%).

Barnhizer is the more efficient scorer by true shooting, 57.9% to 38.2%; TS% folds threes and free throws into one number, so the gap survives shot-diet differences.

Playmaking goes to Clifford (1.0 vs 0.9 assists), the glass to Barnhizer (1.1 vs 0.9 rebounds).

With Barnhizer on the floor his team outscored opponents by -23.4 per 100 possessions, against -43.2 for Clifford; on-court net rating carries the teammates with it, so read it next to PIE.

On the books for 2026-27: Barnhizer — through —, Clifford $3.3M through 2028-29. Whether either fits a trade is a Trade Machine question, not a stat one.
