Where the gap is

from the numbers above

Miles Bridges scored more in 2025-26, 0.8 points a game apart (17.1 vs 16.3), on Buzelis's heavier usage (22.3% vs 22.1%).

Buzelis is the more efficient scorer by true shooting, 58.6% to 57.0%; TS% folds threes and free throws into one number, so the gap survives shot-diet differences.

Playmaking goes to Bridges (3.2 vs 2.1 assists), the glass to Bridges (5.8 vs 5.8 rebounds).

With Bridges on the floor his team outscored opponents by +3.5 per 100 possessions, against -6.3 for Buzelis; on-court net rating carries the teammates with it, so read it next to PIE.

On the books for 2026-27: Buzelis $5.7M through 2027-28, Bridges $22.8M through 2026-27. Whether either fits a trade is a Trade Machine question, not a stat one.
