Where the gap is

from the numbers above

Josh Hart scored more in 2025-26, 0.0 points a game apart (12.0 vs 12.0), on Hart's heavier usage (16.3% vs 14.2%).

Efficiency is a wash: true shooting within a point of each other (60.7% vs 61.2%).

Playmaking goes to Hart (4.8 vs 2.7 assists), the glass to Hart (7.4 vs 4.8 rebounds).

Availability is part of the comparison: Hart played 22 more games (66 vs 44 of 82).

With Braun on the floor his team outscored opponents by +10.1 per 100 possessions, against +5.5 for Hart; 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, Hart $20.9M through 2027-28. Whether either fits a trade is a Trade Machine question, not a stat one.
