Where the gap is

from the numbers above

Luke Kornet scored more in 2025-26, 0.3 points a game apart (6.5 vs 6.2), on Bryant's heavier usage (18.2% vs 10.0%).

Kornet is the more efficient scorer by true shooting, 68.9% to 62.5%; TS% folds threes and free throws into one number, so the gap survives shot-diet differences.

Playmaking goes to Kornet (1.9 vs 0.6 assists), the glass to Kornet (6.1 vs 3.4 rebounds).

Availability is part of the comparison: Kornet played 8 more games (68 vs 60 of 82).

With Kornet on the floor his team outscored opponents by +3.9 per 100 possessions, against +3.6 for Bryant; on-court net rating carries the teammates with it, so read it next to PIE.

On the books for 2026-27: Kornet $10.4M through 2028-29, Bryant $2.4M through 2026-27. Whether either fits a trade is a Trade Machine question, not a stat one.
