Where the gap is

from the numbers above

Marcus Smart scored more in 2025-26, 0.0 points a game apart (9.3 vs 9.3), on Jenkins's heavier usage (20.9% vs 15.1%).

Smart is the more efficient scorer by true shooting, 54.3% to 52.5%; TS% folds threes and free throws into one number, so the gap survives shot-diet differences.

Playmaking goes to Jenkins (3.9 vs 3.0 assists), the glass to Smart (2.8 vs 2.3 rebounds).

Availability is part of the comparison: Jenkins played 10 more games (72 vs 62 of 82).

With Smart on the floor his team outscored opponents by +6.8 per 100 possessions, against +6.6 for Jenkins; on-court net rating carries the teammates with it, so read it next to PIE.

On the books for 2026-27: Jenkins $4.0M through 2026-27, Smart $6.1M through 2027-28. Whether either fits a trade is a Trade Machine question, not a stat one.
