Where the gap is

from the numbers above

Jay Huff scored more in 2025-26, 0.3 points a game apart (9.5 vs 9.2), on Huff's heavier usage (17.8% vs 15.3%).

Hartenstein is the more efficient scorer by true shooting, 63.1% to 59.8%; TS% folds threes and free throws into one number, so the gap survives shot-diet differences.

Playmaking goes to Hartenstein (3.5 vs 1.5 assists), the glass to Hartenstein (9.4 vs 4.0 rebounds).

Availability is part of the comparison: Huff played 35 more games (82 vs 47 of 82).

With Hartenstein on the floor his team outscored opponents by +15.6 per 100 possessions, against -6.3 for Huff; on-court net rating carries the teammates with it, so read it next to PIE.

On the books for 2026-27: Hartenstein $23.1M through 2028-29, Huff $2.7M through 2027-28. Whether either fits a trade is a Trade Machine question, not a stat one.
