Where the gap is

from the numbers above

Myles Turner scored more in 2025-26, 0.2 points a game apart (11.9 vs 11.7), on Queen's heavier usage (21.4% vs 18.1%).

Turner is the more efficient scorer by true shooting, 58.4% 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 1.5 assists), the glass to Queen (7.1 vs 5.3 rebounds).

Availability is part of the comparison: Queen played 10 more games (81 vs 71 of 82).

With Turner on the floor his team outscored opponents by -6.2 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, Turner $26.6M through 2028-29. Whether either fits a trade is a Trade Machine question, not a stat one.
