Where the gap is

from the numbers above

Ivica Zubac scored more in 2025-26, 0.5 points a game apart (14.1 vs 13.6), on Reid's heavier usage (21.2% vs 18.6%).

Zubac is the more efficient scorer by true shooting, 62.2% to 56.5%; TS% folds threes and free throws into one number, so the gap survives shot-diet differences.

Playmaking goes to Reid (2.2 vs 2.2 assists), the glass to Zubac (10.6 vs 6.2 rebounds).

Availability is part of the comparison: Reid played 29 more games (77 vs 48 of 82).

With Reid on the floor his team outscored opponents by +3.2 per 100 possessions, against -2.4 for Zubac; on-court net rating carries the teammates with it, so read it next to PIE.

On the books for 2026-27: Zubac $20.3M through 2027-28, Reid $23.3M through 2029-30. Whether either fits a trade is a Trade Machine question, not a stat one.
