Where the gap is

from the numbers above

OG Anunoby scored more in 2025-26, 0.4 points a game apart (16.7 vs 16.3), on Buzelis's heavier usage (22.3% vs 19.4%).

Anunoby is the more efficient scorer by true shooting, 62.0% to 58.6%; TS% folds threes and free throws into one number, so the gap survives shot-diet differences.

Playmaking goes to Anunoby (2.2 vs 2.1 assists), the glass to Buzelis (5.8 vs 5.2 rebounds).

Availability is part of the comparison: Buzelis played 10 more games (77 vs 67 of 82).

With Anunoby on the floor his team outscored opponents by +9.2 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, Anunoby $42.5M through 2028-29. Whether either fits a trade is a Trade Machine question, not a stat one.
