Kentavious Caldwell-Pope scored more in 2025-26, 0.2 points a game apart (8.4 vs 8.2), on Caldwell-Pope's heavier usage (17.3% vs 16.0%).

Johnson is the more efficient scorer by true shooting, 63.5% to 53.3%; TS% folds threes and free throws into one number, so the gap survives shot-diet differences.

Playmaking goes to Caldwell-Pope (2.7 vs 2.1 assists), the glass to Johnson (4.6 vs 2.5 rebounds).

Availability is part of the comparison: Caldwell-Pope played 34 more games (51 vs 17 of 82).

With Caldwell-Pope on the floor his team outscored opponents by -4.5 per 100 possessions, against -9.0 for Johnson; on-court net rating carries the teammates with it, so read it next to PIE.

On the books for 2026-27: Johnson — through —, Caldwell-Pope $17.7M through 2026-27. Whether either fits a trade is a Trade Machine question, not a stat one.
