Where the gap is

from the numbers above

Luka Garza scored more in 2025-26, 0.6 points a game apart (8.1 vs 7.5), on Garza's heavier usage (16.8% vs 12.4%).

Hayes is the more efficient scorer by true shooting, 75.8% to 68.2%; TS% folds threes and free throws into one number, so the gap survives shot-diet differences.

Playmaking goes to Garza (1.0 vs 0.9 assists), the glass to Garza (4.1 vs 4.1 rebounds).

With Garza on the floor his team outscored opponents by +5.8 per 100 possessions, against +2.4 for Hayes; on-court net rating carries the teammates with it, so read it next to PIE.

On the books for 2026-27: Hayes $6.0M through 2027-28, Garza $2.8M through 2026-27. Whether either fits a trade is a Trade Machine question, not a stat one.
