Where the gap is

from the numbers above

Jordan Poole scored more in 2025-26, 0.2 points a game apart (13.4 vs 13.2), on Poole's heavier usage (23.5% vs 18.9%).

Tyson is the more efficient scorer by true shooting, 60.8% to 53.0%; TS% folds threes and free throws into one number, so the gap survives shot-diet differences.

Playmaking goes to Poole (3.1 vs 2.2 assists), the glass to Tyson (5.1 vs 2.0 rebounds).

Availability is part of the comparison: Tyson played 27 more games (66 vs 39 of 82).

With Tyson on the floor his team outscored opponents by +3.6 per 100 possessions, against -7.9 for Poole; on-court net rating carries the teammates with it, so read it next to PIE.

On the books for 2026-27: Tyson $3.7M through 2027-28, Poole $34.0M through 2026-27. Whether either fits a trade is a Trade Machine question, not a stat one.
