Where the gap is

from the numbers above

Jeremiah Fears scored more in 2025-26, 0.0 points a game apart (14.3 vs 14.3), on Fears's heavier usage (24.5% vs 20.6%).

Ryan is the more efficient scorer by true shooting, 69.2% to 52.5%; TS% folds threes and free throws into one number, so the gap survives shot-diet differences.

Playmaking goes to Fears (3.4 vs 1.7 assists), the glass to Fears (3.7 vs 2.5 rebounds).

Availability is part of the comparison: Fears played 71 more games (82 vs 11 of 82).

With Ryan on the floor his team outscored opponents by -3.1 per 100 possessions, against -6.4 for Fears; on-court net rating carries the teammates with it, so read it next to PIE.

On the books for 2026-27: Ryan — through —, Fears $7.9M through 2028-29. Whether either fits a trade is a Trade Machine question, not a stat one.
