Where the gap is

from the numbers above

Nic Claxton scored more in 2025-26, 0.3 points a game apart (11.7 vs 11.4), on Filipowski's heavier usage (19.7% vs 17.5%).

Efficiency is a wash: true shooting within a point of each other (58.6% vs 59.2%).

Playmaking goes to Claxton (3.7 vs 2.6 assists), the glass to Filipowski (7.2 vs 6.9 rebounds).

Availability is part of the comparison: Filipowski played 8 more games (77 vs 69 of 82).

With Filipowski on the floor his team outscored opponents by -6.6 per 100 possessions, against -12.9 for Claxton; on-court net rating carries the teammates with it, so read it next to PIE.

On the books for 2026-27: Filipowski $3.0M through 2027-28, Claxton $23.1M through 2027-28. Whether either fits a trade is a Trade Machine question, not a stat one.
