Where the gap is

from the numbers above

Luke Kornet scored more in 2025-26, 0.6 points a game apart (6.5 vs 5.9), on Bitadze's heavier usage (12.8% vs 10.0%).

Bitadze is the more efficient scorer by true shooting, 70.0% to 68.9%; TS% folds threes and free throws into one number, so the gap survives shot-diet differences.

Playmaking goes to Kornet (1.9 vs 1.3 assists), the glass to Kornet (6.1 vs 5.0 rebounds).

With Kornet on the floor his team outscored opponents by +3.9 per 100 possessions, against +1.6 for Bitadze; on-court net rating carries the teammates with it, so read it next to PIE.

On the books for 2026-27: Bitadze $7.6M through 2026-27, Kornet $10.4M through 2028-29. Whether either fits a trade is a Trade Machine question, not a stat one.
