Where the gap is

from the numbers above

Naji Marshall scored more in 2025-26, 0.4 points a game apart (15.2 vs 14.8), on Marshall's heavier usage (20.0% vs 18.2%).

McDaniels is the more efficient scorer by true shooting, 61.1% to 59.2%; TS% folds threes and free throws into one number, so the gap survives shot-diet differences.

Playmaking goes to Marshall (3.3 vs 2.7 assists), the glass to Marshall (4.7 vs 4.2 rebounds).

With McDaniels on the floor his team outscored opponents by +3.1 per 100 possessions, against -4.6 for Marshall; on-court net rating carries the teammates with it, so read it next to PIE.

On the books for 2026-27: McDaniels $26.2M through 2028-29, Marshall $9.4M through 2029-30. Whether either fits a trade is a Trade Machine question, not a stat one.
