Where the gap is

from the numbers above

Kyle Kuzma scored more in 2025-26, 0.5 points a game apart (13.0 vs 12.5), on Kuzma's heavier usage (21.2% vs 18.9%).

Kuzma is the more efficient scorer by true shooting, 58.1% to 55.9%; TS% folds threes and free throws into one number, so the gap survives shot-diet differences.

Playmaking goes to Kuzma (2.7 vs 1.6 assists), the glass to Kuzma (4.5 vs 3.2 rebounds).

With Wells on the floor his team outscored opponents by -4.4 per 100 possessions, against -6.6 for Kuzma; on-court net rating carries the teammates with it, so read it next to PIE.

On the books for 2026-27: Wells $2.3M through 2027-28, Kuzma $20.3M through 2026-27. Whether either fits a trade is a Trade Machine question, not a stat one.
