Where the gap is

from the numbers above

Harrison Barnes scored more in 2025-26, 0.2 points a game apart (9.9 vs 9.7), on Collins's heavier usage (17.7% vs 14.4%).

Collins is the more efficient scorer by true shooting, 66.6% to 60.8%; TS% folds threes and free throws into one number, so the gap survives shot-diet differences.

Playmaking goes to Barnes (1.9 vs 1.5 assists), the glass to Collins (5.6 vs 2.8 rebounds).

Availability is part of the comparison: Barnes played 67 more games (77 vs 10 of 82).

With Barnes on the floor his team outscored opponents by +7.8 per 100 possessions, against +3.4 for Collins; on-court net rating carries the teammates with it, so read it next to PIE.

On the books for 2026-27: Barnes $8.0M through 2026-27, Collins $8.3M through 2027-28. Whether either fits a trade is a Trade Machine question, not a stat one.
