Where the gap is

from the numbers above

Dylan Cardwell scored more in 2025-26, 0.4 points a game apart (5.4 vs 5.0), on Cardwell's heavier usage (10.8% vs 9.5%).

Sims is the more efficient scorer by true shooting, 77.2% to 59.1%; TS% folds threes and free throws into one number, so the gap survives shot-diet differences.

Playmaking goes to Sims (1.6 vs 1.4 assists), the glass to Cardwell (7.5 vs 5.5 rebounds).

Availability is part of the comparison: Sims played 23 more games (67 vs 44 of 82).

With Cardwell on the floor his team outscored opponents by -2.5 per 100 possessions, against -10.1 for Sims; on-court net rating carries the teammates with it, so read it next to PIE.

On the books for 2026-27: Cardwell — through —, Sims $2.8M through 2026-27. Whether either fits a trade is a Trade Machine question, not a stat one.
