Where the gap is

from the numbers above

Stephon Castle scored more in 2025-26, 0.0 points a game apart (16.7 vs 16.7), on Murray's heavier usage (26.7% vs 24.3%).

Efficiency is a wash: true shooting within a point of each other (58.0% vs 57.5%).

Playmaking goes to Castle (7.4 vs 6.4 assists), the glass to Murray (5.4 vs 5.3 rebounds).

Availability is part of the comparison: Castle played 54 more games (68 vs 14 of 82).

With Castle on the floor his team outscored opponents by +9.8 per 100 possessions, against +1.3 for Murray; on-court net rating carries the teammates with it, so read it next to PIE.

On the books for 2026-27: Murray $32.8M through 2027-28, Castle $10.0M through 2027-28. Whether either fits a trade is a Trade Machine question, not a stat one.
