Where the gap is

from the numbers above

Luguentz Dort scored more in 2025-26, 0.0 points a game apart (8.3 vs 8.3), on McCain's heavier usage (19.8% vs 13.9%).

McCain is the more efficient scorer by true shooting, 55.1% to 52.4%; TS% folds threes and free throws into one number, so the gap survives shot-diet differences.

Playmaking goes to McCain (1.3 vs 1.2 assists), the glass to Dort (3.6 vs 2.0 rebounds).

With Dort on the floor his team outscored opponents by +8.0 per 100 possessions, against +4.6 for McCain; on-court net rating carries the teammates with it, so read it next to PIE.

On the books for 2026-27: McCain $4.4M through 2027-28, Dort $18.2M through 2026-27. Whether either fits a trade is a Trade Machine question, not a stat one.
