Where the gap is

from the numbers above

Jae'Sean Tate scored more in 2025-26, 0.8 points a game apart (2.8 vs 2.0), on Kent's heavier usage (13.7% vs 13.1%).

Kent is the more efficient scorer by true shooting, 67.2% to 56.7%; TS% folds threes and free throws into one number, so the gap survives shot-diet differences.

Playmaking goes to Tate (0.5 vs 0.0 assists), the glass to Tate (1.6 vs 1.0 rebounds).

Availability is part of the comparison: Tate played 41 more games (46 vs 5 of 82).

With Kent on the floor his team outscored opponents by -2.7 per 100 possessions, against -3.3 for Tate; on-court net rating carries the teammates with it, so read it next to PIE.

On the books for 2026-27: Tate $2.4M through 2026-27, Kent — through —. Whether either fits a trade is a Trade Machine question, not a stat one.
