Where the gap is

from the numbers above

Pelle Larsson scored more in 2025-26, 0.2 points a game apart (11.4 vs 11.2), on Strus's heavier usage (17.0% vs 16.5%).

Efficiency is a wash: true shooting within a point of each other (60.9% vs 60.5%).

Playmaking goes to Larsson (3.4 vs 2.0 assists), the glass to Strus (5.4 vs 3.5 rebounds).

Availability is part of the comparison: Larsson played 58 more games (70 vs 12 of 82).

With Larsson on the floor his team outscored opponents by +2.4 per 100 possessions, against +0.3 for Strus; on-court net rating carries the teammates with it, so read it next to PIE.

On the books for 2026-27: Strus $16.7M through 2026-27, Larsson $2.3M through 2030-31. Whether either fits a trade is a Trade Machine question, not a stat one.
