Where the gap is

from the numbers above

Josh Green scored more in 2025-26, 0.3 points a game apart (4.3 vs 4.0), on Green's heavier usage (10.4% vs 9.2%).

Green is the more efficient scorer by true shooting, 64.4% to 60.3%; TS% folds threes and free throws into one number, so the gap survives shot-diet differences.

Playmaking goes to Batum (0.9 vs 0.8 assists), the glass to Batum (2.5 vs 1.8 rebounds).

Availability is part of the comparison: Batum played 16 more games (74 vs 58 of 82).

With Green on the floor his team outscored opponents by +12.5 per 100 possessions, against -0.5 for Batum; on-court net rating carries the teammates with it, so read it next to PIE.

On the books for 2026-27: Green $14.7M through 2026-27, Batum $5.9M through 2026-27. Whether either fits a trade is a Trade Machine question, not a stat one.
