Where the gap is

from the numbers above

Kobe Brown scored more in 2025-26, 0.1 points a game apart (5.8 vs 5.7), on Brown's heavier usage (15.4% vs 12.8%).

Matković is the more efficient scorer by true shooting, 69.6% to 59.4%; TS% folds threes and free throws into one number, so the gap survives shot-diet differences.

Playmaking goes to Brown (1.3 vs 0.8 assists), the glass to Matković (3.7 vs 3.0 rebounds).

With Matković on the floor his team outscored opponents by -4.4 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: Matković $2.3M through 2026-27, Brown — through —. Whether either fits a trade is a Trade Machine question, not a stat one.
