Where the gap is

from the numbers above

Nolan Traore scored more in 2025-26, 0.0 points a game apart (8.9 vs 8.9), on Carter's heavier usage (22.6% vs 22.4%).

Carter is the more efficient scorer by true shooting, 50.8% to 47.9%; TS% folds threes and free throws into one number, so the gap survives shot-diet differences.

Playmaking goes to Traore (3.8 vs 2.7 assists), the glass to Carter (3.3 vs 1.8 rebounds).

Availability is part of the comparison: Traore played 18 more games (56 vs 38 of 82).

With Carter on the floor his team outscored opponents by -7.3 per 100 possessions, against -10.5 for Traore; on-court net rating carries the teammates with it, so read it next to PIE.

On the books for 2026-27: Carter $5.2M through 2026-27, Traore $4.0M through 2028-29. Whether either fits a trade is a Trade Machine question, not a stat one.
