Where the gap is

from the numbers above

Donovan Clingan scored more in 2025-26, 0.4 points a game apart (12.1 vs 11.7), on Queen's heavier usage (21.4% vs 16.3%).

Clingan is the more efficient scorer by true shooting, 60.4% to 54.6%; TS% folds threes and free throws into one number, so the gap survives shot-diet differences.

Playmaking goes to Queen (3.7 vs 2.1 assists), the glass to Clingan (11.6 vs 7.1 rebounds).

With Clingan on the floor his team outscored opponents by +0.1 per 100 possessions, against -6.7 for Queen; on-court net rating carries the teammates with it, so read it next to PIE.

On the books for 2026-27: Queen $5.4M through 2028-29, Clingan $7.5M through 2027-28. Whether either fits a trade is a Trade Machine question, not a stat one.
