Where the gap is

from the numbers above

Josh Green scored more in 2025-26, 0.5 points a game apart (4.3 vs 3.8), on Penda's heavier usage (14.0% vs 10.4%).

Green is the more efficient scorer by true shooting, 64.4% to 50.6%; TS% folds threes and free throws into one number, so the gap survives shot-diet differences.

Playmaking goes to Penda (1.2 vs 0.8 assists), the glass to Penda (3.2 vs 1.8 rebounds).

With Green on the floor his team outscored opponents by +12.5 per 100 possessions, against -3.0 for Penda; 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, Penda $2.2M through 2028-29. Whether either fits a trade is a Trade Machine question, not a stat one.
