Where the gap is

from the numbers above

T.J. McConnell scored more in 2025-26, 0.1 points a game apart (9.4 vs 9.3), on McConnell's heavier usage (22.7% vs 15.1%).

Shamet is the more efficient scorer by true shooting, 59.8% to 56.7%; TS% folds threes and free throws into one number, so the gap survives shot-diet differences.

Playmaking goes to McConnell (5.1 vs 1.4 assists), the glass to McConnell (2.2 vs 1.8 rebounds).

With Shamet on the floor his team outscored opponents by +8.1 per 100 possessions, against -7.6 for McConnell; on-court net rating carries the teammates with it, so read it next to PIE.

On the books for 2026-27: Shamet $5.4M through 2029-30, McConnell $11.0M through 2028-29. Whether either fits a trade is a Trade Machine question, not a stat one.
