Where the gap is

from the numbers above

Chaz Lanier scored more in 2025-26, 0.3 points a game apart (2.4 vs 2.1), on Youngblood's heavier usage (16.2% vs 14.7%).

Youngblood is the more efficient scorer by true shooting, 52.7% to 43.6%; TS% folds threes and free throws into one number, so the gap survives shot-diet differences.

Playmaking goes to Lanier (0.5 vs 0.4 assists), the glass to Youngblood (0.8 vs 0.7 rebounds).

With Youngblood on the floor his team outscored opponents by +2.3 per 100 possessions, against +2.0 for Lanier; on-court net rating carries the teammates with it, so read it next to PIE.

On the books for 2026-27: Lanier $2.2M through 2028-29, Youngblood — through —. Whether either fits a trade is a Trade Machine question, not a stat one.
