Where the gap is

from the numbers above

Darius Garland scored more in 2025-26, 0.2 points a game apart (18.8 vs 18.6), on Garland's heavier usage (26.6% vs 24.2%).

Efficiency is a wash: true shooting within a point of each other (58.2% vs 57.8%).

Playmaking goes to Garland (6.7 vs 6.2 assists), the glass to Fox (3.8 vs 2.4 rebounds).

Availability is part of the comparison: Fox played 27 more games (72 vs 45 of 82).

With Fox on the floor his team outscored opponents by +9.9 per 100 possessions, against +2.6 for Garland; on-court net rating carries the teammates with it, so read it next to PIE.

On the books for 2026-27: Garland $42.2M through 2027-28, Fox $49.8M through 2029-30. Whether either fits a trade is a Trade Machine question, not a stat one.
