Where the gap is

from the numbers above

Neemias Queta scored more in 2025-26, 0.7 points a game apart (10.2 vs 9.5), on Huff's heavier usage (17.8% vs 14.5%).

Queta is the more efficient scorer by true shooting, 67.4% to 59.8%; TS% folds threes and free throws into one number, so the gap survives shot-diet differences.

Playmaking goes to Queta (1.7 vs 1.5 assists), the glass to Queta (8.4 vs 4.0 rebounds).

With Queta on the floor his team outscored opponents by +13.2 per 100 possessions, against -6.3 for Huff; 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, Queta $2.7M through 2030-31. Whether either fits a trade is a Trade Machine question, not a stat one.
