Where the gap is

from the numbers above

Gary Harris scored more in 2025-26, 0.3 points a game apart (2.7 vs 2.4), on Lanier's heavier usage (14.7% vs 8.2%).

Harris is the more efficient scorer by true shooting, 59.3% to 43.6%; TS% folds threes and free throws into one number, so the gap survives shot-diet differences.

Playmaking goes to Harris (1.1 vs 0.5 assists), the glass to Harris (1.3 vs 0.7 rebounds).

Availability is part of the comparison: Harris played 14 more games (48 vs 34 of 82).

With Lanier on the floor his team outscored opponents by +2.0 per 100 possessions, against -9.6 for Harris; 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, Harris $3.8M through 2026-27. Whether either fits a trade is a Trade Machine question, not a stat one.
