from the numbers above

Klay Thompson scored more in 2025-26, 0.3 points a game apart (11.7 vs 11.4), on Pippen Jr.'s heavier usage (25.5% vs 21.4%).

Efficiency is a wash: true shooting within a point of each other (54.1% vs 53.7%).

Playmaking goes to Pippen Jr. (4.7 vs 1.4 assists), the glass to Pippen Jr. (2.2 vs 2.1 rebounds).

Availability is part of the comparison: Thompson played 59 more games (69 vs 10 of 82).

With Thompson on the floor his team outscored opponents by -4.7 per 100 possessions, against -11.5 for Pippen Jr.; on-court net rating carries the teammates with it, so read it next to PIE.

On the books for 2026-27: Thompson $17.5M through 2027-28, Pippen Jr. $2.5M through 2027-28. Whether either fits a trade is a Trade Machine question, not a stat one.
