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 Gillespie's heavier usage (18.1% vs 16.2%).

Christie is the more efficient scorer by true shooting, 60.1% to 57.5%; TS% folds threes and free throws into one number, so the gap survives shot-diet differences.

Playmaking goes to Gillespie (4.6 vs 2.0 assists), the glass to Gillespie (4.1 vs 3.2 rebounds).

With Gillespie on the floor his team outscored opponents by +3.7 per 100 possessions, against -6.9 for Christie; 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, Christie $8.3M through 2027-28. Whether either fits a trade is a Trade Machine question, not a stat one.
