Where the gap is

from the numbers above

Jaylen Clark scored more in 2025-26, 0.5 points a game apart (4.0 vs 3.5), on Wallace's heavier usage (16.1% vs 12.6%).

Clark is the more efficient scorer by true shooting, 53.4% to 52.0%; TS% folds threes and free throws into one number, so the gap survives shot-diet differences.

Playmaking goes to Wallace (1.8 vs 0.6 assists), the glass to Clark (1.8 vs 1.1 rebounds).

Availability is part of the comparison: Clark played 15 more games (68 vs 53 of 82).

With Clark on the floor his team outscored opponents by +4.1 per 100 possessions, against -8.6 for Wallace; on-court net rating carries the teammates with it, so read it next to PIE.

On the books for 2026-27: Clark $3.1M through 2028-29, Wallace — through —. Whether either fits a trade is a Trade Machine question, not a stat one.
