Where the gap is

from the numbers above

Chaz Lanier scored more in 2025-26, 0.4 points a game apart (2.4 vs 2.0), on Lanier's heavier usage (14.7% vs 14.3%).

McLaughlin is the more efficient scorer by true shooting, 54.2% to 43.6%; TS% folds threes and free throws into one number, so the gap survives shot-diet differences.

Playmaking goes to McLaughlin (0.9 vs 0.5 assists), the glass to McLaughlin (0.7 vs 0.7 rebounds).

Availability is part of the comparison: McLaughlin played 10 more games (44 vs 34 of 82).

With Lanier on the floor his team outscored opponents by +2.0 per 100 possessions, against -11.5 for McLaughlin; 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, McLaughlin $2.4M through 2026-27. Whether either fits a trade is a Trade Machine question, not a stat one.
