Where the gap is

from the numbers above

Max Strus scored more in 2025-26, 0.1 points a game apart (11.2 vs 11.1), on Strus's heavier usage (17.0% vs 16.6%).

Spencer is the more efficient scorer by true shooting, 64.9% to 60.9%; TS% folds threes and free throws into one number, so the gap survives shot-diet differences.

Playmaking goes to Spencer (5.6 vs 2.0 assists), the glass to Strus (5.4 vs 2.5 rebounds).

Availability is part of the comparison: Spencer played 60 more games (72 vs 12 of 82).

With Strus on the floor his team outscored opponents by +0.3 per 100 possessions, against -3.6 for Spencer; on-court net rating carries the teammates with it, so read it next to PIE.

On the books for 2026-27: Spencer $2.4M through 2028-29, Strus $16.7M through 2026-27. Whether either fits a trade is a Trade Machine question, not a stat one.
