Where the gap is

from the numbers above

Kelly Oubre Jr. scored more in 2025-26, 0.1 points a game apart (14.1 vs 14.0), on Murray's heavier usage (18.2% vs 17.9%).

Oubre Jr. is the more efficient scorer by true shooting, 58.0% to 49.9%; TS% folds threes and free throws into one number, so the gap survives shot-diet differences.

Playmaking goes to Murray (1.7 vs 1.6 assists), the glass to Murray (5.7 vs 5.0 rebounds).

Availability is part of the comparison: Oubre Jr. played 27 more games (50 vs 23 of 82).

With Oubre Jr. on the floor his team outscored opponents by -1.9 per 100 possessions, against -10.7 for Murray; on-court net rating carries the teammates with it, so read it next to PIE.

On the books for 2026-27: Murray $24.1M through 2030-31, Oubre Jr. $8.1M through 2027-28. Whether either fits a trade is a Trade Machine question, not a stat one.
