Where the gap is

from the numbers above

Jaylen Clark scored more in 2025-26, 0.1 points a game apart (4.0 vs 3.9), on Clark's heavier usage (12.6% vs 11.4%).

Gonzalez is the more efficient scorer by true shooting, 56.1% to 53.4%; TS% folds threes and free throws into one number, so the gap survives shot-diet differences.

Playmaking goes to Clark (0.6 vs 0.5 assists), the glass to Gonzalez (3.3 vs 1.8 rebounds).

With Gonzalez on the floor his team outscored opponents by +11.9 per 100 possessions, against +4.1 for Clark; on-court net rating carries the teammates with it, so read it next to PIE.

On the books for 2026-27: Gonzalez $2.9M through 2028-29, Clark $3.1M through 2028-29. Whether either fits a trade is a Trade Machine question, not a stat one.
