Where the gap is

from the numbers above

D'Angelo Russell scored more in 2025-26, 0.2 points a game apart (10.2 vs 10.0), on Russell's heavier usage (26.1% vs 18.4%).

Huerter is the more efficient scorer by true shooting, 55.2% to 51.1%; TS% folds threes and free throws into one number, so the gap survives shot-diet differences.

Playmaking goes to Russell (4.0 vs 2.6 assists), the glass to Huerter (3.5 vs 2.3 rebounds).

Availability is part of the comparison: Huerter played 43 more games (69 vs 26 of 82).

With Huerter on the floor his team outscored opponents by +2.3 per 100 possessions, against -3.4 for Russell; on-court net rating carries the teammates with it, so read it next to PIE.

On the books for 2026-27: Russell $6.0M through 2026-27, Huerter $8.3M through 2028-29. Whether either fits a trade is a Trade Machine question, not a stat one.
