Where the gap is

from the numbers above

Zach Edey scored more in 2025-26, 1.5 points a game apart (13.6 vs 12.1), on Edey's heavier usage (20.0% vs 16.3%).

Edey is the more efficient scorer by true shooting, 66.9% to 60.4%; TS% folds threes and free throws into one number, so the gap survives shot-diet differences.

Playmaking goes to Clingan (2.1 vs 1.1 assists), the glass to Clingan (11.6 vs 11.1 rebounds).

Availability is part of the comparison: Clingan played 66 more games (77 vs 11 of 82).

With Edey on the floor his team outscored opponents by +18.3 per 100 possessions, against +0.1 for Clingan; on-court net rating carries the teammates with it, so read it next to PIE.

On the books for 2026-27: Clingan $7.5M through 2027-28, Edey $6.3M through 2027-28. Whether either fits a trade is a Trade Machine question, not a stat one.
