Where the gap is

from the numbers above

Kel'el Ware scored more in 2025-26, 0.5 points a game apart (11.1 vs 10.6), on Landale's heavier usage (17.7% vs 17.4%).

Ware is the more efficient scorer by true shooting, 61.6% to 59.5%; TS% folds threes and free throws into one number, so the gap survives shot-diet differences.

Playmaking goes to Landale (1.7 vs 0.7 assists), the glass to Ware (9.0 vs 5.7 rebounds).

Availability is part of the comparison: Ware played 9 more games (77 vs 68 of 82).

With Ware on the floor his team outscored opponents by -1.0 per 100 possessions, against -2.2 for Landale; 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, Ware $4.7M through 2027-28. Whether either fits a trade is a Trade Machine question, not a stat one.
