Where the gap is

from the numbers above

Trendon Watford scored more in 2025-26, 0.1 points a game apart (6.5 vs 6.4), on Watford's heavier usage (17.0% vs 16.6%).

Watford is the more efficient scorer by true shooting, 57.3% to 53.7%; TS% folds threes and free throws into one number, so the gap survives shot-diet differences.

Playmaking goes to Watford (2.5 vs 1.6 assists), the glass to Watford (3.3 vs 1.7 rebounds).

With Carter on the floor his team outscored opponents by -5.7 per 100 possessions, against -9.1 for Watford; on-court net rating carries the teammates with it, so read it next to PIE.

On the books for 2026-27: Carter $2.4M through 2026-27, Watford $2.4M through 2026-27. Whether either fits a trade is a Trade Machine question, not a stat one.
