Where the gap is

from the numbers above

Ousmane Dieng scored more in 2025-26, 0.2 points a game apart (7.6 vs 7.4), on Dieng's heavier usage (19.2% vs 16.2%).

Minott is the more efficient scorer by true shooting, 65.3% to 51.6%; TS% folds threes and free throws into one number, so the gap survives shot-diet differences.

Playmaking goes to Dieng (2.4 vs 0.9 assists), the glass to Dieng (3.2 vs 3.2 rebounds).

Availability is part of the comparison: Dieng played 8 more games (57 vs 49 of 82).

With Minott on the floor his team outscored opponents by -0.1 per 100 possessions, against -8.6 for Dieng; on-court net rating carries the teammates with it, so read it next to PIE.

On the books for 2026-27: Minott $4.5M through 2027-28, Dieng $5.8M through 2028-29. Whether either fits a trade is a Trade Machine question, not a stat one.
