Where the gap is

from the numbers above

Quinten Post scored more in 2025-26, 0.2 points a game apart (7.7 vs 7.5), on Post's heavier usage (18.3% vs 12.4%).

Hayes is the more efficient scorer by true shooting, 75.8% to 56.0%; TS% folds threes and free throws into one number, so the gap survives shot-diet differences.

Playmaking goes to Post (1.4 vs 0.9 assists), the glass to Hayes (4.1 vs 4.0 rebounds).

With Hayes on the floor his team outscored opponents by +2.4 per 100 possessions, against +2.3 for Post; 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, Post $8.3M through 2028-29. Whether either fits a trade is a Trade Machine question, not a stat one.
