Justin Edwards vs Kobe Brown

Brown is the more efficient scorer by true shooting, 59.4% to 57.2%; TS% folds threes and free throws into one number, so the gap survives shot-diet differences.

Playmaking goes to Brown (1.3 vs 1.3 assists), the glass to Brown (3.0 vs 1.5 rebounds).

With Edwards on the floor his team outscored opponents by -3.4 per 100 possessions, against -10.5 for Brown; on-court net rating carries the teammates with it, so read it next to PIE.

On the books for 2026-27: Edwards $2.4M through 2027-28, Brown — through —. Whether either fits a trade is a Trade Machine question, not a stat one.
