Diawara is the more efficient scorer by true shooting, 55.0% to 45.2%; TS% folds threes and free throws into one number, so the gap survives shot-diet differences.

With Diawara on the floor his team outscored opponents by +5.3 per 100 possessions, against +1.8 for Finney-Smith; 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, Diawara $2.2M through 2029-30. Whether either fits a trade is a Trade Machine question, not a stat one.
