Where the gap is

from the numbers above

Nique Clifford scored more in 2025-26, 0.0 points a game apart (8.6 vs 8.6), on Clarkson's heavier usage (20.3% vs 16.7%).

Clarkson is the more efficient scorer by true shooting, 54.8% to 50.5%; TS% folds threes and free throws into one number, so the gap survives shot-diet differences.

Playmaking goes to Clifford (2.4 vs 1.3 assists), the glass to Clifford (3.8 vs 1.8 rebounds).

With Clarkson on the floor his team outscored opponents by +3.7 per 100 possessions, against -4.5 for Clifford; on-court net rating carries the teammates with it, so read it next to PIE.

On the books for 2026-27: Clarkson $2.4M through 2026-27, Clifford $3.3M through 2028-29. Whether either fits a trade is a Trade Machine question, not a stat one.
