Where the gap is

from the numbers above

Tyler Herro scored more in 2025-26, 0.4 points a game apart (20.5 vs 20.1), on Herro's heavier usage (24.8% vs 22.4%).

Efficiency is a wash: true shooting within a point of each other (60.7% vs 60.2%).

Playmaking goes to Herro (4.1 vs 4.1 assists), the glass to Herro (4.8 vs 4.1 rebounds).

Availability is part of the comparison: Bane played 49 more games (82 vs 33 of 82).

With Bane on the floor his team outscored opponents by +2.2 per 100 possessions, against -2.0 for Herro; 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, Herro $33.0M through 2026-27. Whether either fits a trade is a Trade Machine question, not a stat one.
