Where the gap is

from the numbers above

Marcus Sasser scored more in 2025-26, 0.1 points a game apart (5.2 vs 5.1), on Sasser's heavier usage (19.7% vs 12.5%).

Furphy is the more efficient scorer by true shooting, 54.7% to 53.3%; TS% folds threes and free throws into one number, so the gap survives shot-diet differences.

Playmaking goes to Sasser (2.0 vs 1.2 assists), the glass to Furphy (4.4 vs 1.0 rebounds).

With Sasser on the floor his team outscored opponents by +13.4 per 100 possessions, against -4.6 for Furphy; on-court net rating carries the teammates with it, so read it next to PIE.

On the books for 2026-27: Furphy $2.3M through 2027-28, Sasser $5.2M through 2026-27. Whether either fits a trade is a Trade Machine question, not a stat one.
