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 Reed's heavier usage (20.0% vs 11.2%).

Efficiency is a wash: true shooting within a point of each other (65.3% vs 65.0%).

Playmaking goes to Diabaté (1.9 vs 1.2 assists), the glass to Diabaté (8.7 vs 4.5 rebounds).

Availability is part of the comparison: Diabaté played 8 more games (73 vs 65 of 82).

With Diabaté on the floor his team outscored opponents by +10.5 per 100 possessions, against +8.1 for Reed; 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, Reed $5.6M through 2026-27. Whether either fits a trade is a Trade Machine question, not a stat one.
