Where the gap is

from the numbers above

Caleb Martin scored more in 2025-26, 0.2 points a game apart (3.9 vs 3.7), on Nnaji's heavier usage (13.6% vs 12.2%).

Nnaji is the more efficient scorer by true shooting, 55.8% 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 0.6 assists), the glass to Nnaji (2.6 vs 2.5 rebounds).

With Nnaji on the floor his team outscored opponents by -6.6 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, Nnaji $7.5M through 2027-28. Whether either fits a trade is a Trade Machine question, not a stat one.
