Where the gap is

from the numbers above

Nae'Qwan Tomlin scored more in 2025-26, 0.0 points a game apart (5.8 vs 5.8), on Tomlin's heavier usage (15.1% vs 10.3%).

Efficiency is a wash: true shooting within a point of each other (55.0% vs 54.9%).

Playmaking goes to Murray (1.4 vs 0.8 assists), the glass to Murray (3.6 vs 2.9 rebounds).

With Tomlin on the floor his team outscored opponents by +3.6 per 100 possessions, against +1.5 for Murray; on-court net rating carries the teammates with it, so read it next to PIE.

On the books for 2026-27: Murray $5.3M through 2026-27, Tomlin $2.4M through 2026-27. Whether either fits a trade is a Trade Machine question, not a stat one.
