Where the gap is

from the numbers above

Mike Conley scored more in 2025-26, 0.1 points a game apart (4.5 vs 4.4), on Kolek's heavier usage (17.3% vs 11.3%).

Kolek is the more efficient scorer by true shooting, 53.3% to 51.7%; TS% folds threes and free throws into one number, so the gap survives shot-diet differences.

Playmaking goes to Conley (2.9 vs 2.7 assists), the glass to Conley (1.7 vs 1.6 rebounds).

Availability is part of the comparison: Kolek played 8 more games (62 vs 54 of 82).

With Kolek on the floor his team outscored opponents by +6.0 per 100 possessions, against +0.2 for Conley; on-court net rating carries the teammates with it, so read it next to PIE.

On the books for 2026-27: Conley $2.4M through 2026-27, Kolek $2.3M through 2027-28. Whether either fits a trade is a Trade Machine question, not a stat one.
