Where the gap is

from the numbers above

Jarred Vanderbilt scored more in 2025-26, 0.2 points a game apart (4.4 vs 4.2), on Bryant's heavier usage (15.8% vs 11.9%).

Vanderbilt is the more efficient scorer by true shooting, 54.4% to 52.6%; TS% folds threes and free throws into one number, so the gap survives shot-diet differences.

Playmaking goes to Vanderbilt (1.3 vs 0.7 assists), the glass to Vanderbilt (4.5 vs 2.5 rebounds).

With Bryant on the floor his team outscored opponents by +0.8 per 100 possessions, against +0.2 for Vanderbilt; on-court net rating carries the teammates with it, so read it next to PIE.

On the books for 2026-27: Bryant $5.1M through 2028-29, Vanderbilt $12.4M through 2027-28. Whether either fits a trade is a Trade Machine question, not a stat one.
