Where the gap is

from the numbers above

CJ McCollum scored more in 2025-26, 0.1 points a game apart (18.7 vs 18.6), on McCollum's heavier usage (24.7% vs 24.2%).

Fox is the more efficient scorer by true shooting, 57.8% to 56.6%; TS% folds threes and free throws into one number, so the gap survives shot-diet differences.

Playmaking goes to Fox (6.2 vs 3.9 assists), the glass to Fox (3.8 vs 3.3 rebounds).

With Fox on the floor his team outscored opponents by +9.9 per 100 possessions, against +1.5 for McCollum; on-court net rating carries the teammates with it, so read it next to PIE.

On the books for 2026-27: McCollum $21.0M through 2026-27, Fox $49.8M through 2029-30. Whether either fits a trade is a Trade Machine question, not a stat one.
