Where the gap is

from the numbers above

DeMar DeRozan scored more in 2025-26, 0.6 points a game apart (18.4 vs 17.8), on Green's heavier usage (30.9% vs 22.2%).

DeRozan is the more efficient scorer by true shooting, 59.4% to 51.6%; TS% folds threes and free throws into one number, so the gap survives shot-diet differences.

Playmaking goes to DeRozan (4.1 vs 2.8 assists), the glass to Green (3.6 vs 2.9 rebounds).

Availability is part of the comparison: DeRozan played 45 more games (77 vs 32 of 82).

With Green on the floor his team outscored opponents by +0.7 per 100 possessions, against -11.7 for DeRozan; on-court net rating carries the teammates with it, so read it next to PIE.

On the books for 2026-27: DeRozan $2.4M through 2026-27, Green $36.3M through 2027-28. Whether either fits a trade is a Trade Machine question, not a stat one.
