Where the gap is

from the numbers above

Deni Avdija scored more in 2025-26, 4.1 points a game apart (24.2 vs 20.1), on Avdija's heavier usage (28.5% vs 22.4%).

Efficiency is a wash: true shooting within a point of each other (60.0% vs 60.7%).

Playmaking goes to Avdija (6.7 vs 4.1 assists), the glass to Avdija (6.9 vs 4.1 rebounds).

Availability is part of the comparison: Bane played 16 more games (82 vs 66 of 82).

With Bane on the floor his team outscored opponents by +2.2 per 100 possessions, against +0.3 for Avdija; on-court net rating carries the teammates with it, so read it next to PIE.

On the books for 2026-27: Avdija $13.1M through 2027-28, Bane $39.4M through 2028-29. Whether either fits a trade is a Trade Machine question, not a stat one.
