Phillips is the more efficient scorer by true shooting, 53.4% to 51.6%; TS% folds threes and free throws into one number, so the gap survives shot-diet differences.

Playmaking goes to Leons (0.9 vs 0.2 assists), the glass to Leons (2.1 vs 1.0 rebounds).

Availability is part of the comparison: Phillips played 23 more games (48 vs 25 of 82).

With Phillips on the floor his team outscored opponents by -2.9 per 100 possessions, against -10.6 for Leons; on-court net rating carries the teammates with it, so read it next to PIE.

On the books for 2026-27: Phillips $2.5M through 2026-27, Leons — through —. Whether either fits a trade is a Trade Machine question, not a stat one.
