from the numbers above

Dorian Finney-Smith scored more in 2025-26, 0.5 points a game apart (3.3 vs 2.8), on Finney-Smith's heavier usage (10.4% vs 9.6%).

Efficiency is a wash: true shooting within a point of each other (45.2% vs 45.8%).

Playmaking goes to Looney (1.6 vs 1.0 assists), the glass to Looney (5.6 vs 2.5 rebounds).

Availability is part of the comparison: Finney-Smith played 16 more games (37 vs 21 of 82).

With Finney-Smith on the floor his team outscored opponents by +1.8 per 100 possessions, against -10.4 for Looney; 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, Looney $2.4M through 2026-27. Whether either fits a trade is a Trade Machine question, not a stat one.
