Where the gap is

from the numbers above

Yves Missi scored more in 2025-26, 0.3 points a game apart (5.7 vs 5.4), on Missi's heavier usage (12.2% vs 10.8%).

Cardwell is the more efficient scorer by true shooting, 59.1% to 55.6%; TS% folds threes and free throws into one number, so the gap survives shot-diet differences.

Playmaking goes to Cardwell (1.4 vs 1.3 assists), the glass to Cardwell (7.5 vs 5.8 rebounds).

Availability is part of the comparison: Missi played 22 more games (66 vs 44 of 82).

With Missi on the floor his team outscored opponents by -1.3 per 100 possessions, against -2.5 for Cardwell; on-court net rating carries the teammates with it, so read it next to PIE.

On the books for 2026-27: Cardwell — through —, Missi $3.5M through 2027-28. Whether either fits a trade is a Trade Machine question, not a stat one.
