Where the gap is

from the numbers above

Desmond Bane scored more in 2025-26, 0.4 points a game apart (20.1 vs 19.7), on Jerome's heavier usage (33.2% vs 22.4%).

Efficiency is a wash: true shooting within a point of each other (60.7% vs 61.6%).

Playmaking goes to Jerome (5.7 vs 4.1 assists), the glass to Bane (4.1 vs 2.8 rebounds).

Availability is part of the comparison: Bane played 67 more games (82 vs 15 of 82).

With Bane on the floor his team outscored opponents by +2.2 per 100 possessions, against -5.0 for Jerome; on-court net rating carries the teammates with it, so read it next to PIE.

On the books for 2026-27: Bane $39.4M through 2028-29, Jerome $9.2M through 2027-28. Whether either fits a trade is a Trade Machine question, not a stat one.
