Where the gap is

from the numbers above

JD Davison scored more in 2025-26, 0.1 points a game apart (2.5 vs 2.4), on Davison's heavier usage (15.3% vs 14.7%).

Davison is the more efficient scorer by true shooting, 47.7% to 43.6%; TS% folds threes and free throws into one number, so the gap survives shot-diet differences.

Playmaking goes to Davison (1.3 vs 0.5 assists), the glass to Davison (1.2 vs 0.7 rebounds).

With Davison on the floor his team outscored opponents by +2.6 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, Davison $2.6M through 2026-27. Whether either fits a trade is a Trade Machine question, not a stat one.
