Murray is the more efficient scorer by true shooting, 62.2% to 60.9%; TS% folds threes and free throws into one number, so the gap survives shot-diet differences.

Playmaking goes to Murray (7.1 vs 6.1 assists), the glass to Murray (4.4 vs 3.7 rebounds).

Availability is part of the comparison: Murray played 21 more games (75 vs 54 of 82).

With Murray on the floor his team outscored opponents by +6.8 per 100 possessions, against -8.6 for George; on-court net rating carries the teammates with it, so read it next to PIE.
