Where the gap is

from the numbers above

Nick Richards scored more in 2025-26, 0.1 points a game apart (5.8 vs 5.7), on Richards's heavier usage (17.6% vs 10.2%).

Robinson is the more efficient scorer by true shooting, 67.6% to 56.2%; TS% folds threes and free throws into one number, so the gap survives shot-diet differences.

Playmaking goes to Robinson (0.9 vs 0.3 assists), the glass to Robinson (8.8 vs 5.1 rebounds).

Availability is part of the comparison: Robinson played 12 more games (60 vs 48 of 82).

With Robinson on the floor his team outscored opponents by +7.8 per 100 possessions, against -8.4 for Richards; on-court net rating carries the teammates with it, so read it next to PIE.

On the books for 2026-27: Robinson $15.0M through 2028-29, Richards $2.4M through 2026-27. Whether either fits a trade is a Trade Machine question, not a stat one.
