from the numbers above

Cooper Flagg scored more in 2025-26, 0.2 points a game apart (21.0 vs 20.8), on Sharpe's heavier usage (29.3% vs 26.4%).

Efficiency is a wash: true shooting within a point of each other (54.8% vs 54.6%).

Playmaking goes to Flagg (4.5 vs 2.6 assists), the glass to Flagg (6.7 vs 4.3 rebounds).

Availability is part of the comparison: Flagg played 20 more games (70 vs 50 of 82).

With Sharpe on the floor his team outscored opponents by -1.3 per 100 possessions, against -5.2 for Flagg; on-court net rating carries the teammates with it, so read it next to PIE.

On the books for 2026-27: Flagg $14.5M through 2028-29, Sharpe $20.1M through 2029-30. Whether either fits a trade is a Trade Machine question, not a stat one.
