Where the gap is

from the numbers above

Luka Garza scored more in 2025-26, 0.4 points a game apart (8.1 vs 7.7), on Post's heavier usage (18.3% vs 16.8%).

Garza is the more efficient scorer by true shooting, 68.2% to 56.0%; TS% folds threes and free throws into one number, so the gap survives shot-diet differences.

Playmaking goes to Post (1.4 vs 1.0 assists), the glass to Garza (4.1 vs 4.0 rebounds).

With Garza on the floor his team outscored opponents by +5.8 per 100 possessions, against +2.3 for Post; on-court net rating carries the teammates with it, so read it next to PIE.

On the books for 2026-27: Garza $2.8M through 2026-27, Post $8.3M through 2028-29. Whether either fits a trade is a Trade Machine question, not a stat one.
