Where the gap is

from the numbers above

Tyler Kolek scored more in 2025-26, 0.0 points a game apart (4.4 vs 4.4), on Kolek's heavier usage (17.3% vs 16.2%).

Richardson is the more efficient scorer by true shooting, 57.4% to 53.3%; TS% folds threes and free throws into one number, so the gap survives shot-diet differences.

Playmaking goes to Kolek (2.7 vs 1.1 assists), the glass to Kolek (1.6 vs 1.2 rebounds).

Availability is part of the comparison: Kolek played 8 more games (62 vs 54 of 82).

With Kolek on the floor his team outscored opponents by +6.0 per 100 possessions, against -0.8 for Richardson; 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, Kolek $2.3M through 2027-28. Whether either fits a trade is a Trade Machine question, not a stat one.
