Where the gap is

from the numbers above

Bub Carrington scored more in 2025-26, 0.3 points a game apart (10.7 vs 10.4), on Love's heavier usage (22.8% vs 17.4%).

Carrington is the more efficient scorer by true shooting, 55.6% to 49.7%; TS% folds threes and free throws into one number, so the gap survives shot-diet differences.

Playmaking goes to Carrington (4.6 vs 2.5 assists), the glass to Carrington (3.4 vs 2.3 rebounds).

Availability is part of the comparison: Carrington played 33 more games (82 vs 49 of 82).

With Love on the floor his team outscored opponents by -6.3 per 100 possessions, against -15.3 for Carrington; on-court net rating carries the teammates with it, so read it next to PIE.

On the books for 2026-27: Carrington $4.9M through 2027-28, Love — through —. Whether either fits a trade is a Trade Machine question, not a stat one.
