Where the gap is

from the numbers above

Julian Phillips scored more in 2025-26, 0.3 points a game apart (2.9 vs 2.6), on Phillips's heavier usage (13.4% vs 11.9%).

Phillips is the more efficient scorer by true shooting, 53.4% to 49.8%; TS% folds threes and free throws into one number, so the gap survives shot-diet differences.

Playmaking goes to Isaac (0.4 vs 0.2 assists), the glass to Isaac (2.5 vs 1.0 rebounds).

With Isaac on the floor his team outscored opponents by -1.3 per 100 possessions, against -2.9 for Phillips; on-court net rating carries the teammates with it, so read it next to PIE.

On the books for 2026-27: Isaac $10.4M through 2026-27, Phillips $2.5M through 2026-27. Whether either fits a trade is a Trade Machine question, not a stat one.
