Where the gap is

from the numbers above

Collin Sexton scored more in 2025-26, 0.4 points a game apart (15.4 vs 15.0), on Sexton's heavier usage (24.8% vs 19.5%).

Sexton is the more efficient scorer by true shooting, 61.5% to 52.9%; TS% folds threes and free throws into one number, so the gap survives shot-diet differences.

Playmaking goes to Chandler (6.7 vs 3.3 assists), the glass to Chandler (3.4 vs 2.3 rebounds).

Availability is part of the comparison: Sexton played 57 more games (68 vs 11 of 82).

With Sexton on the floor his team outscored opponents by -3.0 per 100 possessions, against -9.3 for Chandler; on-court net rating carries the teammates with it, so read it next to PIE.

On the books for 2026-27: Sexton $9.4M through 2027-28, Chandler — through —. Whether either fits a trade is a Trade Machine question, not a stat one.
