from the numbers above

Ryan Nembhard scored more in 2025-26, 0.0 points a game apart (6.6 vs 6.6), on Nembhard's heavier usage (17.3% vs 14.9%).

Efficiency is a wash: true shooting within a point of each other (49.1% vs 49.2%).

Playmaking goes to Shead (5.4 vs 5.3 assists), the glass to Nembhard (2.2 vs 1.7 rebounds).

Availability is part of the comparison: Shead played 22 more games (82 vs 60 of 82).

With Shead on the floor his team outscored opponents by +5.8 per 100 possessions, against -1.9 for Nembhard; on-court net rating carries the teammates with it, so read it next to PIE.

On the books for 2026-27: Shead $2.3M through 2029-30, Nembhard $2.2M through 2026-27. Whether either fits a trade is a Trade Machine question, not a stat one.
