Where the gap is

from the numbers above

Stephon Castle scored more in 2025-26, 0.2 points a game apart (16.7 vs 16.5), on Castle's heavier usage (24.3% vs 21.6%).

Castle is the more efficient scorer by true shooting, 57.5% to 52.9%; TS% folds threes and free throws into one number, so the gap survives shot-diet differences.

Playmaking goes to Castle (7.4 vs 5.4 assists), the glass to Castle (5.3 vs 4.4 rebounds).

Availability is part of the comparison: White played 9 more games (77 vs 68 of 82).

With White on the floor his team outscored opponents by +11.3 per 100 possessions, against +9.8 for Castle; on-court net rating carries the teammates with it, so read it next to PIE.

On the books for 2026-27: White $30.3M through 2028-29, Castle $10.0M through 2027-28. Whether either fits a trade is a Trade Machine question, not a stat one.
