Where the gap is

from the numbers above

Wendell Carter Jr. scored more in 2025-26, 0.4 points a game apart (11.8 vs 11.4), on Filipowski's heavier usage (19.7% vs 15.6%).

Carter Jr. is the more efficient scorer by true shooting, 61.7% to 58.6%; TS% folds threes and free throws into one number, so the gap survives shot-diet differences.

Playmaking goes to Filipowski (2.6 vs 2.0 assists), the glass to Carter Jr. (7.4 vs 7.2 rebounds).

With Carter Jr. on the floor his team outscored opponents by +2.2 per 100 possessions, against -6.6 for Filipowski; 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, Carter Jr. $18.1M through 2028-29. Whether either fits a trade is a Trade Machine question, not a stat one.
