Where the gap is

from the numbers above

Jonathan Isaac scored more in 2025-26, 1.8 points a game apart (2.6 vs 0.8), on Isaac's heavier usage (11.9% vs 10.8%).

Isaac is the more efficient scorer by true shooting, 49.8% to 14.8%; TS% folds threes and free throws into one number, so the gap survives shot-diet differences.

Playmaking goes to Isaac (0.4 vs 0.3 assists), the glass to Isaac (2.5 vs 1.5 rebounds).

Availability is part of the comparison: Isaac played 46 more games (52 vs 6 of 82).

With Isaac on the floor his team outscored opponents by -1.3 per 100 possessions, against -7.6 for Peterson; on-court net rating carries the teammates with it, so read it next to PIE.

On the books for 2026-27: Peterson — through —, Isaac $10.4M through 2026-27. Whether either fits a trade is a Trade Machine question, not a stat one.
