Where the gap is

from the numbers above

Caleb Martin scored more in 2025-26, 0.3 points a game apart (3.9 vs 3.6), on Diawara's heavier usage (16.9% vs 12.2%).

Diawara is the more efficient scorer by true shooting, 55.0% to 52.6%; TS% folds threes and free throws into one number, so the gap survives shot-diet differences.

Playmaking goes to Martin (1.4 vs 0.8 assists), the glass to Martin (2.5 vs 1.4 rebounds).

Availability is part of the comparison: Diawara played 11 more games (69 vs 58 of 82).

With Diawara on the floor his team outscored opponents by +5.3 per 100 possessions, against -9.2 for Martin; on-court net rating carries the teammates with it, so read it next to PIE.

On the books for 2026-27: Martin $10.0M through 2027-28, Diawara $2.2M through 2029-30. Whether either fits a trade is a Trade Machine question, not a stat one.
