Where the gap is

from the numbers above

Jordan McLaughlin scored more in 2026-27, 0.4 points a game apart (1.0 vs 0.6), on McLaughlin's heavier usage (14.4% vs 5.6%).

Porter Jr. is the more efficient scorer by true shooting, 50.0% to 21.0%; TS% folds threes and free throws into one number, so the gap survives shot-diet differences.

Playmaking goes to McLaughlin (1.2 vs 1.0 assists), the glass to Porter Jr. (1.6 vs 0.8 rebounds).

With Porter Jr. on the floor his team outscored opponents by -3.1 per 100 possessions, against -30.4 for McLaughlin; on-court net rating carries the teammates with it, so read it next to PIE.

On the books for 2026-27: Porter Jr. $2.4M through 2026-27, McLaughlin $2.4M through 2026-27. Whether either fits a trade is a Trade Machine question, not a stat one.
