Where the gap is

from the numbers above

Ty Jerome scored more in 2025-26, 0.2 points a game apart (19.7 vs 19.5), on Jerome's heavier usage (33.2% vs 30.5%).

Jerome is the more efficient scorer by true shooting, 61.6% to 52.1%; TS% folds threes and free throws into one number, so the gap survives shot-diet differences.

Playmaking goes to Morant (8.1 vs 5.7 assists), the glass to Morant (3.3 vs 2.8 rebounds).

With Morant on the floor his team outscored opponents by -4.4 per 100 possessions, against -5.0 for Jerome; on-court net rating carries the teammates with it, so read it next to PIE.

On the books for 2026-27: Morant $42.2M through 2027-28, Jerome $9.2M through 2027-28. Whether either fits a trade is a Trade Machine question, not a stat one.
