Where the gap is

from the numbers above

Jordan Goodwin scored more in 2025-26, 0.1 points a game apart (8.7 vs 8.6), on Clifford's heavier usage (16.7% vs 16.7%).

Goodwin is the more efficient scorer by true shooting, 52.5% 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 2.2 assists), the glass to Goodwin (4.9 vs 3.8 rebounds).

With Goodwin on the floor his team outscored opponents by +3.3 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: Goodwin $5.9M through 2028-29, Clifford $3.3M through 2028-29. Whether either fits a trade is a Trade Machine question, not a stat one.
