Where the gap is

from the numbers above

Jamal Murray scored more in 2025-26, 1.4 points a game apart (25.4 vs 24.0), on Siakam's heavier usage (29.2% vs 26.9%).

Murray is the more efficient scorer by true shooting, 62.2% to 56.2%; TS% folds threes and free throws into one number, so the gap survives shot-diet differences.

Playmaking goes to Murray (7.1 vs 3.8 assists), the glass to Siakam (6.6 vs 4.4 rebounds).

Availability is part of the comparison: Murray played 13 more games (75 vs 62 of 82).

With Murray on the floor his team outscored opponents by +6.8 per 100 possessions, against -5.6 for Siakam; on-court net rating carries the teammates with it, so read it next to PIE.

On the books for 2026-27: Murray $50.1M through 2028-29, Siakam $48.9M through 2027-28. Whether either fits a trade is a Trade Machine question, not a stat one.
