Where the gap is

from the numbers above

Vit Krejci scored more in 2025-26, 0.1 points a game apart (8.5 vs 8.4), on Krejci's heavier usage (14.2% vs 13.1%).

Kennard is the more efficient scorer by true shooting, 68.9% to 60.9%; TS% folds threes and free throws into one number, so the gap survives shot-diet differences.

Playmaking goes to Kennard (2.2 vs 1.5 assists), the glass to Krejci (2.3 vs 2.3 rebounds).

Availability is part of the comparison: Kennard played 13 more games (78 vs 65 of 82).

With Kennard on the floor his team outscored opponents by +0.5 per 100 possessions, against -1.1 for Krejci; on-court net rating carries the teammates with it, so read it next to PIE.

On the books for 2026-27: Kennard $6.1M through 2027-28, Krejci $2.7M through 2027-28. Whether either fits a trade is a Trade Machine question, not a stat one.
