Where the gap is

from the numbers above

Liam McNeeley scored more in 2025-26, 0.1 points a game apart (4.3 vs 4.2), on Bryant's heavier usage (15.8% vs 14.4%).

McNeeley is the more efficient scorer by true shooting, 58.8% to 52.6%; TS% folds threes and free throws into one number, so the gap survives shot-diet differences.

Playmaking goes to McNeeley (0.8 vs 0.7 assists), the glass to Bryant (2.5 vs 2.4 rebounds).

Availability is part of the comparison: Bryant played 40 more games (71 vs 31 of 82).

With McNeeley on the floor his team outscored opponents by +1.6 per 100 possessions, against +0.8 for Bryant; 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, McNeeley $2.9M through 2028-29. Whether either fits a trade is a Trade Machine question, not a stat one.
