McNeeley is the more efficient scorer by true shooting, 58.8% to 53.9%; TS% folds threes and free throws into one number, so the gap survives shot-diet differences.

Playmaking goes to Gueye (0.9 vs 0.8 assists), the glass to Gueye (3.6 vs 2.4 rebounds).

Availability is part of the comparison: Gueye played 46 more games (77 vs 31 of 82).

With Gueye on the floor his team outscored opponents by +2.3 per 100 possessions, against +1.6 for McNeeley; on-court net rating carries the teammates with it, so read it next to PIE.

On the books for 2026-27: McNeeley $2.9M through 2028-29, Gueye $2.4M through 2026-27. Whether either fits a trade is a Trade Machine question, not a stat one.
