How to read this chart
Each row
is one 2026-27 regular-season stat, Cain on the left and Beringer on the right. The better number is in the club's color.
The bars
show each player's share of the two totals added together: a 60/40 split means one has half again as much as the other. Turnovers are flipped: fewer is better.
The five areas
at the top group the stats that belong together. An area goes to whoever wins more of its rows; the big number in each card is the key stat, with the real values.
Role and availability
(games, minutes, usage) describe the role, not how good a player is, so they are shown but not scored.
The raw count
Cain 5, Beringer 12 rows won. Every row counts the same here, so read it as a curiosity, not a verdict.

Where the gap is

from the numbers above

Jamal Cain scored more in 2026-27, 0.1 points a game apart (6.4 vs 6.3), on Cain's heavier usage (15.7% vs 12.9%).

With Beringer on the floor his team outscored opponents by +8.7 per 100 possessions, against -15.3 for Cain; on-court net rating carries the teammates with it, so read it next to PIE.

On the books for 2026-27: Cain $2.6M through 2026-27, Beringer $4.4M through 2028-29. Whether either fits a trade is a Trade Machine question, not a stat one.

How to read this chart
Each row
splits the same game logs a different way: home or road, wins or losses, plus the big-night counts.
The bars
show each player's share of the two numbers added together, and the bigger number is in the club's color.
Record when playing
is the team's record in the games he suited up for, so missed games are left out.
