Where the gap is

from the numbers above

Tyler Kolek scored more in 2025-26, 0.0 points a game apart (4.4 vs 4.4), on Kolek's heavier usage (17.3% vs 14.1%).

Kolek is the more efficient scorer by true shooting, 53.3% to 47.0%; TS% folds threes and free throws into one number, so the gap survives shot-diet differences.

Playmaking goes to Jones (3.2 vs 2.7 assists), the glass to Kolek (1.6 vs 1.6 rebounds).

Availability is part of the comparison: Kolek played 25 more games (62 vs 37 of 82).

With Kolek on the floor his team outscored opponents by +6.0 per 100 possessions, against -10.0 for Jones; on-court net rating carries the teammates with it, so read it next to PIE.

On the books for 2026-27: Jones — through —, Kolek $2.3M through 2027-28. Whether either fits a trade is a Trade Machine question, not a stat one.
