Where the gap is

from the numbers above

Will Richard scored more in 2025-26, 0.0 points a game apart (6.4 vs 6.4), on Carter's heavier usage (16.6% vs 12.3%).

Richard is the more efficient scorer by true shooting, 59.6% to 53.7%; TS% folds threes and free throws into one number, so the gap survives shot-diet differences.

Playmaking goes to Carter (1.6 vs 1.3 assists), the glass to Richard (2.5 vs 1.7 rebounds).

Availability is part of the comparison: Richard played 16 more games (69 vs 53 of 82).

With Richard on the floor his team outscored opponents by -3.3 per 100 possessions, against -5.7 for Carter; 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, Richard $2.2M through 2028-29. Whether either fits a trade is a Trade Machine question, not a stat one.
