Where the gap is

from the numbers above

Christian Braun scored more in 2025-26, 0.2 points a game apart (12.0 vs 11.8), on Harper's heavier usage (21.1% vs 14.2%).

Braun is the more efficient scorer by true shooting, 60.7% to 57.4%; TS% folds threes and free throws into one number, so the gap survives shot-diet differences.

Playmaking goes to Harper (3.9 vs 2.7 assists), the glass to Braun (4.8 vs 3.4 rebounds).

Availability is part of the comparison: Harper played 25 more games (69 vs 44 of 82).

With Braun on the floor his team outscored opponents by +10.1 per 100 possessions, against +9.5 for Harper; on-court net rating carries the teammates with it, so read it next to PIE.

On the books for 2026-27: Braun $21.6M through 2030-31, Harper $13.0M through 2028-29. Whether either fits a trade is a Trade Machine question, not a stat one.
