Where the gap is

from the numbers above

Dorian Finney-Smith scored more in 2025-26, 0.7 points a game apart (3.3 vs 2.6), on Isaac's heavier usage (11.9% vs 10.4%).

Isaac is the more efficient scorer by true shooting, 49.8% to 45.2%; TS% folds threes and free throws into one number, so the gap survives shot-diet differences.

Playmaking goes to Finney-Smith (1.0 vs 0.4 assists), the glass to Isaac (2.5 vs 2.5 rebounds).

Availability is part of the comparison: Isaac played 15 more games (52 vs 37 of 82).

With Finney-Smith on the floor his team outscored opponents by +1.8 per 100 possessions, against -1.3 for Isaac; on-court net rating carries the teammates with it, so read it next to PIE.

On the books for 2026-27: Finney-Smith $13.3M through 2028-29, Isaac $10.4M through 2026-27. Whether either fits a trade is a Trade Machine question, not a stat one.
