Where the gap is

from the numbers above

Daeqwon Plowden scored more in 2025-26, 0.1 points a game apart (10.8 vs 10.7), on Carrington's heavier usage (17.4% vs 15.7%).

Plowden is the more efficient scorer by true shooting, 57.2% to 55.6%; TS% folds threes and free throws into one number, so the gap survives shot-diet differences.

Playmaking goes to Carrington (4.6 vs 1.3 assists), the glass to Carrington (3.4 vs 3.0 rebounds).

Availability is part of the comparison: Carrington played 50 more games (82 vs 32 of 82).

With Plowden on the floor his team outscored opponents by -10.9 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, Plowden $2.4M through 2027-28. Whether either fits a trade is a Trade Machine question, not a stat one.
