Where the gap is

from the numbers above

Myron Gardner scored more in 2025-26, 0.0 points a game apart (3.6 vs 3.6), on Diawara's heavier usage (16.9% vs 13.9%).

Gardner is the more efficient scorer by true shooting, 60.6% to 55.0%; TS% folds threes and free throws into one number, so the gap survives shot-diet differences.

Playmaking goes to Gardner (1.0 vs 0.8 assists), the glass to Gardner (2.7 vs 1.4 rebounds).

Availability is part of the comparison: Diawara played 24 more games (69 vs 45 of 82).

With Gardner on the floor his team outscored opponents by +8.4 per 100 possessions, against +5.3 for Diawara; on-court net rating carries the teammates with it, so read it next to PIE.

On the books for 2026-27: Diawara $2.2M through 2029-30, Gardner $2.2M through 2027-28. Whether either fits a trade is a Trade Machine question, not a stat one.
