Where the gap is

from the numbers above

Malaki Branham scored more in 2025-26, 0.2 points a game apart (4.6 vs 4.4), on Branham's heavier usage (17.7% vs 12.0%).

Branham is the more efficient scorer by true shooting, 60.4% 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 1.6 rebounds).

Availability is part of the comparison: Gueye played 49 more games (77 vs 28 of 82).

With Gueye on the floor his team outscored opponents by +2.3 per 100 possessions, against -8.8 for Branham; on-court net rating carries the teammates with it, so read it next to PIE.

On the books for 2026-27: Branham $2.5M through 2026-27, Gueye $2.4M through 2026-27. Whether either fits a trade is a Trade Machine question, not a stat one.
