Where the gap is

from the numbers above

Emanuel Miller scored more in 2025-26, 0.1 points a game apart (3.0 vs 2.9), on Miller's heavier usage (16.9% vs 13.4%).

Efficiency is a wash: true shooting within a point of each other (54.0% vs 53.4%).

Playmaking goes to Miller (0.8 vs 0.2 assists), the glass to Phillips (1.0 vs 0.6 rebounds).

Availability is part of the comparison: Phillips played 43 more games (48 vs 5 of 82).

With Phillips on the floor his team outscored opponents by -2.9 per 100 possessions, against -28.0 for Miller; on-court net rating carries the teammates with it, so read it next to PIE.

On the books for 2026-27: Miller — through —, Phillips $2.5M through 2026-27. Whether either fits a trade is a Trade Machine question, not a stat one.
