Where the gap is

from the numbers above

Quenton Jackson scored more in 2025-26, 0.2 points a game apart (9.1 vs 8.9), on Carter's heavier usage (22.6% vs 20.0%).

Jackson is the more efficient scorer by true shooting, 58.9% to 50.8%; TS% folds threes and free throws into one number, so the gap survives shot-diet differences.

Playmaking goes to Jackson (2.9 vs 2.7 assists), the glass to Carter (3.3 vs 2.3 rebounds).

Availability is part of the comparison: Jackson played 11 more games (49 vs 38 of 82).

With Jackson on the floor his team outscored opponents by -3.8 per 100 possessions, against -7.3 for Carter; 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, Jackson — through —. Whether either fits a trade is a Trade Machine question, not a stat one.
