Where the gap is

from the numbers above

Taelon Peter scored more in 2025-26, 0.1 points a game apart (4.5 vs 4.4), on Richardson's heavier usage (16.2% vs 15.9%).

Richardson is the more efficient scorer by true shooting, 57.4% to 51.8%; TS% folds threes and free throws into one number, so the gap survives shot-diet differences.

Playmaking goes to Peter (1.1 vs 1.1 assists), the glass to Peter (1.6 vs 1.2 rebounds).

Availability is part of the comparison: Richardson played 16 more games (54 vs 38 of 82).

With Richardson on the floor his team outscored opponents by -0.8 per 100 possessions, against -8.7 for Peter; on-court net rating carries the teammates with it, so read it next to PIE.

On the books for 2026-27: Richardson $3.1M through 2028-29, Peter — through —. Whether either fits a trade is a Trade Machine question, not a stat one.
