Where the gap is

from the numbers above

Saddiq Bey scored more in 2025-26, 0.3 points a game apart (17.7 vs 17.4), on Porter Jr.'s heavier usage (23.6% vs 21.3%).

Bey is the more efficient scorer by true shooting, 57.9% to 56.7%; TS% folds threes and free throws into one number, so the gap survives shot-diet differences.

Playmaking goes to Porter Jr. (7.4 vs 2.5 assists), the glass to Bey (5.6 vs 5.2 rebounds).

Availability is part of the comparison: Bey played 34 more games (72 vs 38 of 82).

With Bey on the floor his team outscored opponents by -3.6 per 100 possessions, against -4.7 for Porter Jr.; on-court net rating carries the teammates with it, so read it next to PIE.

On the books for 2026-27: Porter Jr. $5.4M through 2026-27, Bey $6.4M through 2026-27. Whether either fits a trade is a Trade Machine question, not a stat one.
