Where the gap is

from the numbers above

Kyle Filipowski scored more in 2025-26, 0.3 points a game apart (11.4 vs 11.1), on Filipowski's heavier usage (19.7% vs 17.4%).

Ware is the more efficient scorer by true shooting, 61.6% to 58.6%; TS% folds threes and free throws into one number, so the gap survives shot-diet differences.

Playmaking goes to Filipowski (2.6 vs 0.7 assists), the glass to Ware (9.0 vs 7.2 rebounds).

With Ware on the floor his team outscored opponents by -1.0 per 100 possessions, against -6.6 for Filipowski; on-court net rating carries the teammates with it, so read it next to PIE.

On the books for 2026-27: Ware $4.7M through 2027-28, Filipowski $3.0M through 2027-28. Whether either fits a trade is a Trade Machine question, not a stat one.
