Where the gap is

from the numbers above

Jaylen Clark scored more in 2025-26, 0.2 points a game apart (4.0 vs 3.8), on Brea's heavier usage (20.3% vs 12.6%).

Brea is the more efficient scorer by true shooting, 61.0% to 53.4%; TS% folds threes and free throws into one number, so the gap survives shot-diet differences.

Playmaking goes to Brea (0.8 vs 0.6 assists), the glass to Clark (1.8 vs 0.7 rebounds).

Availability is part of the comparison: Clark played 56 more games (68 vs 12 of 82).

With Clark on the floor his team outscored opponents by +4.1 per 100 possessions, against -4.2 for Brea; 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, Brea — through —. Whether either fits a trade is a Trade Machine question, not a stat one.
