Where the gap is

from the numbers above

Miles McBride scored more in 2025-26, 0.0 points a game apart (12.0 vs 12.0), on McBride's heavier usage (17.4% vs 14.2%).

Braun is the more efficient scorer by true shooting, 60.7% to 57.8%; TS% folds threes and free throws into one number, so the gap survives shot-diet differences.

Playmaking goes to Braun (2.7 vs 2.6 assists), the glass to Braun (4.8 vs 2.4 rebounds).

With Braun on the floor his team outscored opponents by +10.1 per 100 possessions, against +9.5 for McBride; 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, McBride $4.0M through 2026-27. Whether either fits a trade is a Trade Machine question, not a stat one.
