Where the gap is

from the numbers above

Drake Powell scored more in 2025-26, 0.1 points a game apart (6.5 vs 6.4), on Powell's heavier usage (14.9% vs 12.3%).

Richard is the more efficient scorer by true shooting, 59.6% to 52.1%; TS% folds threes and free throws into one number, so the gap survives shot-diet differences.

Playmaking goes to Powell (1.4 vs 1.3 assists), the glass to Richard (2.5 vs 1.8 rebounds).

With Richard on the floor his team outscored opponents by -3.3 per 100 possessions, against -16.1 for Powell; on-court net rating carries the teammates with it, so read it next to PIE.

On the books for 2026-27: Powell $3.5M through 2028-29, Richard $2.2M through 2028-29. Whether either fits a trade is a Trade Machine question, not a stat one.
