Where the gap is

from the numbers above

Craig Porter Jr. scored more in 2025-26, 0.1 points a game apart (4.5 vs 4.4), on Kolek's heavier usage (17.3% vs 11.9%).

Efficiency is a wash: true shooting within a point of each other (52.4% vs 53.3%).

Playmaking goes to Porter Jr. (3.2 vs 2.7 assists), the glass to Porter Jr. (3.4 vs 1.6 rebounds).

With Kolek on the floor his team outscored opponents by +6.0 per 100 possessions, against +4.6 for Porter Jr.; 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, Kolek $2.3M through 2027-28. Whether either fits a trade is a Trade Machine question, not a stat one.
