Where the gap is

from the numbers above

Grayson Allen scored more in 2025-26, 0.2 points a game apart (16.5 vs 16.3), on Allen's heavier usage (23.1% vs 23.1%).

Allen is the more efficient scorer by true shooting, 56.8% to 51.0%; TS% folds threes and free throws into one number, so the gap survives shot-diet differences.

Playmaking goes to Allen (3.8 vs 1.5 assists), the glass to Whitehead (4.0 vs 3.0 rebounds).

Availability is part of the comparison: Allen played 45 more games (51 vs 6 of 82).

With Allen on the floor his team outscored opponents by +0.1 per 100 possessions, against -24.1 for Whitehead; on-court net rating carries the teammates with it, so read it next to PIE.

On the books for 2026-27: Whitehead — through —, Allen $18.1M through 2027-28. Whether either fits a trade is a Trade Machine question, not a stat one.
