Where the gap is

from the numbers above

CJ McCollum scored more in 2025-26, 0.3 points a game apart (18.7 vs 18.4), on McCollum's heavier usage (24.7% vs 22.2%).

DeRozan is the more efficient scorer by true shooting, 59.4% to 56.6%; TS% folds threes and free throws into one number, so the gap survives shot-diet differences.

Playmaking goes to DeRozan (4.1 vs 3.9 assists), the glass to McCollum (3.3 vs 2.9 rebounds).

With McCollum on the floor his team outscored opponents by +1.5 per 100 possessions, against -11.7 for DeRozan; 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, DeRozan — through —. Whether either fits a trade is a Trade Machine question, not a stat one.
