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 Edey's heavier usage (20.0% vs 18.6%).

Edey is the more efficient scorer by true shooting, 66.9% to 62.2%; TS% folds threes and free throws into one number, so the gap survives shot-diet differences.

Playmaking goes to Zubac (2.2 vs 1.1 assists), the glass to Edey (11.1 vs 10.6 rebounds).

Availability is part of the comparison: Zubac played 37 more games (48 vs 11 of 82).

With Edey on the floor his team outscored opponents by +18.3 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, Edey $6.3M through 2027-28. Whether either fits a trade is a Trade Machine question, not a stat one.
