Where the gap is

from the numbers above

Liam McNeeley scored more in 2025-26, 0.0 points a game apart (4.3 vs 4.3), on Johnson's heavier usage (17.1% vs 14.4%).

Efficiency is a wash: true shooting within a point of each other (58.2% vs 58.8%).

Playmaking goes to McNeeley (0.8 vs 0.3 assists), the glass to McNeeley (2.4 vs 1.9 rebounds).

With Johnson on the floor his team outscored opponents by +13.0 per 100 possessions, against +1.6 for McNeeley; on-court net rating carries the teammates with it, so read it next to PIE.

On the books for 2026-27: Johnson — through —, McNeeley $2.9M through 2028-29. Whether either fits a trade is a Trade Machine question, not a stat one.
