Where the gap is

from the numbers above

Cam Spencer scored more in 2025-26, 0.4 points a game apart (11.1 vs 10.7), on Carrington's heavier usage (17.4% vs 16.6%).

Spencer is the more efficient scorer by true shooting, 64.9% to 55.6%; TS% folds threes and free throws into one number, so the gap survives shot-diet differences.

Playmaking goes to Spencer (5.6 vs 4.6 assists), the glass to Carrington (3.4 vs 2.5 rebounds).

Availability is part of the comparison: Carrington played 10 more games (82 vs 72 of 82).

With Spencer on the floor his team outscored opponents by -3.6 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, Spencer $2.4M through 2028-29. Whether either fits a trade is a Trade Machine question, not a stat one.
