Where the gap is

from the numbers above

Micah Potter scored more in 2025-26, 0.2 points a game apart (9.7 vs 9.5), on Huff's heavier usage (17.8% vs 17.4%).

Potter is the more efficient scorer by true shooting, 67.9% to 59.8%; TS% folds threes and free throws into one number, so the gap survives shot-diet differences.

Playmaking goes to Potter (1.5 vs 1.5 assists), the glass to Potter (5.0 vs 4.0 rebounds).

Availability is part of the comparison: Huff played 35 more games (82 vs 47 of 82).

With Huff on the floor his team outscored opponents by -6.3 per 100 possessions, against -6.4 for Potter; on-court net rating carries the teammates with it, so read it next to PIE.

On the books for 2026-27: Huff $2.7M through 2027-28, Potter $2.8M through 2026-27. Whether either fits a trade is a Trade Machine question, not a stat one.
