Where the gap is

from the numbers above

Jared McCain scored more in 2025-26, 0.2 points a game apart (8.3 vs 8.1), on McCain's heavier usage (19.8% vs 16.7%).

McCain is the more efficient scorer by true shooting, 55.1% to 53.3%; TS% folds threes and free throws into one number, so the gap survives shot-diet differences.

Playmaking goes to McCain (1.3 vs 1.2 assists), the glass to McCain (2.0 vs 1.0 rebounds).

With McCain on the floor his team outscored opponents by +4.6 per 100 possessions, against -12.4 for Trent Jr.; on-court net rating carries the teammates with it, so read it next to PIE.

On the books for 2026-27: Trent Jr. $15.2M through 2029-30, McCain $4.4M through 2027-28. Whether either fits a trade is a Trade Machine question, not a stat one.
