Where the gap is

from the numbers above

Moussa Diabaté scored more in 2025-26, 0.1 points a game apart (7.9 vs 7.8), on Tshiebwe's heavier usage (16.2% vs 11.2%).

Diabaté is the more efficient scorer by true shooting, 65.3% to 63.3%; TS% folds threes and free throws into one number, so the gap survives shot-diet differences.

Playmaking goes to Diabaté (1.9 vs 1.2 assists), the glass to Diabaté (8.7 vs 6.6 rebounds).

Availability is part of the comparison: Diabaté played 46 more games (73 vs 27 of 82).

With Diabaté on the floor his team outscored opponents by +10.5 per 100 possessions, against -8.0 for Tshiebwe; on-court net rating carries the teammates with it, so read it next to PIE.

On the books for 2026-27: Diabaté $2.5M through 2026-27, Tshiebwe $2.5M through 2026-27. Whether either fits a trade is a Trade Machine question, not a stat one.
