Where the gap is

from the numbers above

Emanuel Miller scored more in 2025-26, 0.2 points a game apart (3.0 vs 2.8), on Miller's heavier usage (16.9% vs 9.6%).

Miller is the more efficient scorer by true shooting, 54.0% to 45.8%; TS% folds threes and free throws into one number, so the gap survives shot-diet differences.

Playmaking goes to Looney (1.6 vs 0.8 assists), the glass to Looney (5.6 vs 0.6 rebounds).

Availability is part of the comparison: Looney played 16 more games (21 vs 5 of 82).

With Looney on the floor his team outscored opponents by -10.4 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 —, Looney $2.4M through 2026-27. Whether either fits a trade is a Trade Machine question, not a stat one.
