Where the gap is

from the numbers above

Isaiah Joe scored more in 2025-26, 0.3 points a game apart (11.1 vs 10.8), on Joe's heavier usage (17.8% vs 15.7%).

Joe is the more efficient scorer by true shooting, 65.7% to 57.2%; TS% folds threes and free throws into one number, so the gap survives shot-diet differences.

Playmaking goes to Joe (1.3 vs 1.3 assists), the glass to Plowden (3.0 vs 2.5 rebounds).

Availability is part of the comparison: Joe played 39 more games (71 vs 32 of 82).

With Joe on the floor his team outscored opponents by +11.7 per 100 possessions, against -10.9 for Plowden; on-court net rating carries the teammates with it, so read it next to PIE.

On the books for 2026-27: Plowden $2.4M through 2027-28, Joe $11.3M through 2027-28. Whether either fits a trade is a Trade Machine question, not a stat one.
