Where the gap is

from the numbers above

Julius Randle scored more in 2025-26, 0.2 points a game apart (21.1 vs 20.9), on James's heavier usage (26.2% vs 25.8%).

Efficiency is a wash: true shooting within a point of each other (58.5% vs 59.4%).

Playmaking goes to James (7.2 vs 5.0 assists), the glass to Randle (6.7 vs 6.1 rebounds).

Availability is part of the comparison: Randle played 19 more games (79 vs 60 of 82).

With Randle on the floor his team outscored opponents by +4.0 per 100 possessions, against +2.6 for James; on-court net rating carries the teammates with it, so read it next to PIE.

On the books for 2026-27: Randle $33.3M through 2027-28, James $3.9M through 2027-28. Whether either fits a trade is a Trade Machine question, not a stat one.
