Where the gap is

from the numbers above

Collin Gillespie scored more in 2025-26, 0.4 points a game apart (12.7 vs 12.3), on Melton's heavier usage (24.4% vs 18.1%).

Gillespie is the more efficient scorer by true shooting, 57.5% to 51.8%; TS% folds threes and free throws into one number, so the gap survives shot-diet differences.

Playmaking goes to Gillespie (4.6 vs 2.6 assists), the glass to Gillespie (4.1 vs 3.2 rebounds).

Availability is part of the comparison: Gillespie played 31 more games (80 vs 49 of 82).

With Melton on the floor his team outscored opponents by +3.9 per 100 possessions, against +3.7 for Gillespie; on-court net rating carries the teammates with it, so read it next to PIE.

On the books for 2026-27: Gillespie $10.7M through 2029-30, Melton $5.5M through 2027-28. Whether either fits a trade is a Trade Machine question, not a stat one.
