Where the gap is

from the numbers above

Jusuf Nurkic scored more in 2025-26, 0.3 points a game apart (10.9 vs 10.6), on Nurkic's heavier usage (18.6% vs 17.7%).

Landale is the more efficient scorer by true shooting, 59.5% to 54.8%; TS% folds threes and free throws into one number, so the gap survives shot-diet differences.

Playmaking goes to Nurkic (4.8 vs 1.7 assists), the glass to Nurkic (10.4 vs 5.7 rebounds).

Availability is part of the comparison: Landale played 27 more games (68 vs 41 of 82).

With Landale on the floor his team outscored opponents by -2.2 per 100 possessions, against -7.9 for Nurkic; on-court net rating carries the teammates with it, so read it next to PIE.

On the books for 2026-27: Landale $14.1M through 2026-27, Nurkic $10.6M through 2027-28. Whether either fits a trade is a Trade Machine question, not a stat one.
