Where the gap is

from the numbers above

Dorian Finney-Smith scored more in 2025-26, 0.4 points a game apart (3.3 vs 2.9), on Phillips's heavier usage (13.4% vs 10.4%).

Phillips is the more efficient scorer by true shooting, 53.4% 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 0.2 assists), the glass to Finney-Smith (2.5 vs 1.0 rebounds).

Availability is part of the comparison: Phillips played 11 more games (48 vs 37 of 82).

With Finney-Smith on the floor his team outscored opponents by +1.8 per 100 possessions, against -2.9 for Phillips; 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, Phillips $2.5M through 2026-27. Whether either fits a trade is a Trade Machine question, not a stat one.
