Where the gap is

from the numbers above

Jericho Sims scored more in 2025-26, 0.6 points a game apart (5.0 vs 4.4), on Jordan's heavier usage (9.8% vs 9.5%).

Sims is the more efficient scorer by true shooting, 77.2% to 67.1%; TS% folds threes and free throws into one number, so the gap survives shot-diet differences.

Playmaking goes to Sims (1.6 vs 0.9 assists), the glass to Jordan (6.3 vs 5.5 rebounds).

Availability is part of the comparison: Sims played 55 more games (67 vs 12 of 82).

With Jordan on the floor his team outscored opponents by -2.4 per 100 possessions, against -10.1 for Sims; on-court net rating carries the teammates with it, so read it next to PIE.

On the books for 2026-27: Jordan $3.9M through 2027-28, Sims $2.8M through 2026-27. Whether either fits a trade is a Trade Machine question, not a stat one.
