Where the gap is

from the numbers above

Jamal Cain scored more in 2025-26, 0.2 points a game apart (5.4 vs 5.2), on Eubanks's heavier usage (16.1% vs 15.9%).

Cain is the more efficient scorer by true shooting, 62.4% to 60.5%; TS% folds threes and free throws into one number, so the gap survives shot-diet differences.

Playmaking goes to Cain (0.7 vs 0.5 assists), the glass to Eubanks (3.0 vs 2.0 rebounds).

With Cain on the floor his team outscored opponents by +4.5 per 100 possessions, against -11.4 for Eubanks; on-court net rating carries the teammates with it, so read it next to PIE.

On the books for 2026-27: Eubanks — through —, Cain $2.6M through 2026-27. Whether either fits a trade is a Trade Machine question, not a stat one.
