Where the gap is

from the numbers above

Khaman Maluach scored more in 2025-26, 0.8 points a game apart (3.0 vs 2.2), on Hansen's heavier usage (19.6% vs 14.2%).

Maluach is the more efficient scorer by true shooting, 58.6% to 41.3%; TS% folds threes and free throws into one number, so the gap survives shot-diet differences.

Playmaking goes to Hansen (0.5 vs 0.1 assists), the glass to Maluach (2.9 vs 1.5 rebounds).

With Maluach on the floor his team outscored opponents by +2.5 per 100 possessions, against -15.1 for Hansen; on-court net rating carries the teammates with it, so read it next to PIE.

On the books for 2026-27: Hansen $4.6M through 2028-29, Maluach $6.3M through 2028-29. Whether either fits a trade is a Trade Machine question, not a stat one.
