Where the gap is

from the numbers above

Tari Eason scored more in 2025-26, 0.3 points a game apart (10.5 vs 10.2), on Middleton's heavier usage (19.8% vs 18.1%).

Middleton is the more efficient scorer by true shooting, 53.3% to 51.4%; TS% folds threes and free throws into one number, so the gap survives shot-diet differences.

Playmaking goes to Middleton (2.8 vs 1.5 assists), the glass to Eason (6.3 vs 3.7 rebounds).

With Eason on the floor his team outscored opponents by +6.5 per 100 possessions, against -11.1 for Middleton; on-court net rating carries the teammates with it, so read it next to PIE.

On the books for 2026-27: Middleton $5.6M through 2028-29, Eason $14.1M through 2030-31. Whether either fits a trade is a Trade Machine question, not a stat one.
