Where the gap is

from the numbers above

Kevon Looney scored more in 2025-26, 0.0 points a game apart (2.8 vs 2.8), on Tate's heavier usage (13.1% vs 9.6%).

Tate is the more efficient scorer by true shooting, 56.7% to 45.8%; TS% folds threes and free throws into one number, so the gap survives shot-diet differences.

Playmaking goes to Looney (1.6 vs 0.5 assists), the glass to Looney (5.6 vs 1.6 rebounds).

Availability is part of the comparison: Tate played 25 more games (46 vs 21 of 82).

With Tate on the floor his team outscored opponents by -3.3 per 100 possessions, against -10.4 for Looney; 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, Looney $2.4M through 2026-27. Whether either fits a trade is a Trade Machine question, not a stat one.
