Where the gap is

from the numbers above

Derrick Jones Jr. scored more in 2025-26, 0.1 points a game apart (10.1 vs 10.0), on Stewart's heavier usage (16.4% vs 14.4%).

Stewart is the more efficient scorer by true shooting, 63.2% to 60.0%; TS% folds threes and free throws into one number, so the gap survives shot-diet differences.

Playmaking goes to Jones Jr. (1.4 vs 1.1 assists), the glass to Stewart (5.0 vs 3.5 rebounds).

Availability is part of the comparison: Stewart played 8 more games (58 vs 50 of 82).

With Jones Jr. on the floor his team outscored opponents by +4.0 per 100 possessions, against +1.8 for Stewart; on-court net rating carries the teammates with it, so read it next to PIE.

On the books for 2026-27: Jones Jr. $10.5M through 2026-27, Stewart $15.0M through 2027-28. Whether either fits a trade is a Trade Machine question, not a stat one.
