Where the gap is

from the numbers above

Josh Hart scored more in 2025-26, 0.1 points a game apart (12.0 vs 11.9), on Hart's heavier usage (16.3% vs 15.7%).

Hart is the more efficient scorer by true shooting, 61.2% to 54.2%; TS% folds threes and free throws into one number, so the gap survives shot-diet differences.

Playmaking goes to Daniels (5.9 vs 4.8 assists), the glass to Hart (7.4 vs 6.8 rebounds).

Availability is part of the comparison: Daniels played 10 more games (76 vs 66 of 82).

With Daniels on the floor his team outscored opponents by +6.2 per 100 possessions, against +5.5 for Hart; on-court net rating carries the teammates with it, so read it next to PIE.

On the books for 2026-27: Daniels $25.0M through 2029-30, Hart $20.9M through 2027-28. Whether either fits a trade is a Trade Machine question, not a stat one.
