Where the gap is

from the numbers above

Tyus Jones scored more in 2026-27, 0.1 points a game apart (2.9 vs 2.8), on Anderson's heavier usage (21.4% vs 11.5%).

Jones is the more efficient scorer by true shooting, 52.8% to 31.7%; TS% folds threes and free throws into one number, so the gap survives shot-diet differences.

Playmaking goes to Jones (2.0 vs 1.8 assists), the glass to Anderson (1.7 vs 0.6 rebounds).

With Anderson on the floor his team outscored opponents by -7.6 per 100 possessions, against -14.4 for Jones; on-court net rating carries the teammates with it, so read it next to PIE.

On the books for 2026-27: Anderson — through —, Jones $2.4M through 2026-27. Whether either fits a trade is a Trade Machine question, not a stat one.
