Where the gap is

from the numbers above

Sandro Mamukelashvili scored more in 2025-26, 0.7 points a game apart (11.2 vs 10.5), on Mamukelashvili's heavier usage (18.1% vs 18.0%).

Bagley III is the more efficient scorer by true shooting, 66.1% to 63.7%; TS% folds threes and free throws into one number, so the gap survives shot-diet differences.

Playmaking goes to Mamukelashvili (1.9 vs 1.4 assists), the glass to Bagley III (6.1 vs 4.9 rebounds).

Availability is part of the comparison: Mamukelashvili played 20 more games (80 vs 60 of 82).

With Mamukelashvili on the floor his team outscored opponents by +5.3 per 100 possessions, against -9.1 for Bagley III; on-court net rating carries the teammates with it, so read it next to PIE.

On the books for 2026-27: Bagley III $2.4M through 2026-27, Mamukelashvili $13.0M through 2029-30. Whether either fits a trade is a Trade Machine question, not a stat one.
