Where the gap is

from the numbers above

Caleb Love scored more in 2025-26, 0.4 points a game apart (10.4 vs 10.0), on Love's heavier usage (22.8% vs 18.4%).

Huerter is the more efficient scorer by true shooting, 55.2% to 49.7%; TS% folds threes and free throws into one number, so the gap survives shot-diet differences.

Playmaking goes to Huerter (2.6 vs 2.5 assists), the glass to Huerter (3.5 vs 2.3 rebounds).

Availability is part of the comparison: Huerter played 20 more games (69 vs 49 of 82).

With Huerter on the floor his team outscored opponents by +2.3 per 100 possessions, against -6.3 for Love; on-court net rating carries the teammates with it, so read it next to PIE.

On the books for 2026-27: Love — through —, Huerter $8.3M through 2028-29. Whether either fits a trade is a Trade Machine question, not a stat one.
