Where the gap is

from the numbers above

Nae'Qwan Tomlin scored more in 2025-26, 0.1 points a game apart (5.8 vs 5.7), on Tomlin's heavier usage (15.1% vs 12.8%).

Matkovic is the more efficient scorer by true shooting, 69.6% to 54.9%; TS% folds threes and free throws into one number, so the gap survives shot-diet differences.

Playmaking goes to Tomlin (0.8 vs 0.8 assists), the glass to Matkovic (3.7 vs 2.9 rebounds).

With Tomlin on the floor his team outscored opponents by +3.6 per 100 possessions, against -4.4 for Matkovic; on-court net rating carries the teammates with it, so read it next to PIE.

On the books for 2026-27: Matkovic $2.3M through 2026-27, Tomlin $2.4M through 2026-27. Whether either fits a trade is a Trade Machine question, not a stat one.
