Where the gap is

from the numbers above

Sharife Cooper scored more in 2025-26, 0.0 points a game apart (8.1 vs 8.1), on Cooper's heavier usage (19.7% vs 13.6%).

Efficiency is a wash: true shooting within a point of each other (61.0% vs 60.9%).

Playmaking goes to Cooper (3.0 vs 1.5 assists), the glass to Cooper (2.1 vs 2.1 rebounds).

With McGowens on the floor his team outscored opponents by -3.6 per 100 possessions, against -11.7 for Cooper; on-court net rating carries the teammates with it, so read it next to PIE.

On the books for 2026-27: McGowens $2.6M through 2027-28, Cooper — through —. Whether either fits a trade is a Trade Machine question, not a stat one.
