Where the gap is

from the numbers above

Maxime Raynaud scored more in 2025-26, 0.0 points a game apart (12.5 vs 12.5), on Raynaud's heavier usage (17.8% vs 16.4%).

Ayton is the more efficient scorer by true shooting, 67.6% to 61.9%; TS% folds threes and free throws into one number, so the gap survives shot-diet differences.

Playmaking goes to Raynaud (1.4 vs 0.8 assists), the glass to Ayton (8.0 vs 7.5 rebounds).

With Ayton on the floor his team outscored opponents by +0.1 per 100 possessions, against -10.9 for Raynaud; on-court net rating carries the teammates with it, so read it next to PIE.

On the books for 2026-27: Ayton $8.1M through 2026-27, Raynaud $2.2M through 2027-28. Whether either fits a trade is a Trade Machine question, not a stat one.
