Where the gap is

from the numbers above

Noah Clowney scored more in 2025-26, 0.1 points a game apart (12.3 vs 12.2), on Clowney's heavier usage (20.2% vs 14.4%).

Johnson is the more efficient scorer by true shooting, 62.9% to 55.4%; TS% folds threes and free throws into one number, so the gap survives shot-diet differences.

Playmaking goes to Johnson (2.4 vs 1.6 assists), the glass to Clowney (4.1 vs 3.8 rebounds).

Availability is part of the comparison: Clowney played 12 more games (66 vs 54 of 82).

With Johnson on the floor his team outscored opponents by +9.5 per 100 possessions, against -8.7 for Clowney; on-court net rating carries the teammates with it, so read it next to PIE.

On the books for 2026-27: Johnson $23.1M through 2026-27, Clowney $5.4M through 2026-27. Whether either fits a trade is a Trade Machine question, not a stat one.
