Where the gap is

from the numbers above

Jalen Green scored more in 2025-26, 0.1 points a game apart (17.8 vs 17.7), on Green's heavier usage (30.9% vs 21.3%).

Bey is the more efficient scorer by true shooting, 57.9% to 51.6%; TS% folds threes and free throws into one number, so the gap survives shot-diet differences.

Playmaking goes to Green (2.8 vs 2.5 assists), the glass to Bey (5.6 vs 3.6 rebounds).

Availability is part of the comparison: Bey played 40 more games (72 vs 32 of 82).

With Green on the floor his team outscored opponents by +0.7 per 100 possessions, against -3.6 for Bey; on-court net rating carries the teammates with it, so read it next to PIE.

On the books for 2026-27: Green $36.3M through 2027-28, Bey $6.4M through 2026-27. Whether either fits a trade is a Trade Machine question, not a stat one.
