Where the gap is

Jordan McLaughlin scored more in 2025-26, 0.8 points a game apart (2.0 vs 1.2), on McLaughlin's heavier usage (14.3% vs 10.6%).

McLaughlin is the more efficient scorer by true shooting, 54.2% to 30.8%; TS% folds threes and free throws into one number, so the gap survives shot-diet differences.

Playmaking goes to McLaughlin (0.9 vs 0.8 assists), the glass to McLaughlin (0.7 vs 0.6 rebounds).

Availability is part of the comparison: McLaughlin played 30 more games (44 vs 14 of 82).

With McLaughlin on the floor his team outscored opponents by -11.5 per 100 possessions, against -18.0 for Lowry; on-court net rating carries the teammates with it, so read it next to PIE.

On the books for 2026-27: McLaughlin $2.4M through 2026-27, Lowry — through —. Whether either fits a trade is a Trade Machine question, not a stat one.
