Where the gap is

from the numbers above

Myles Turner scored more in 2025-26, 0.2 points a game apart (11.9 vs 11.7), on Turner's heavier usage (18.1% vs 17.5%).

Efficiency is a wash: true shooting within a point of each other (58.4% vs 59.2%).

Playmaking goes to Claxton (3.7 vs 1.5 assists), the glass to Claxton (6.9 vs 5.3 rebounds).

With Turner on the floor his team outscored opponents by -6.2 per 100 possessions, against -12.9 for Claxton; on-court net rating carries the teammates with it, so read it next to PIE.

On the books for 2026-27: Turner $26.6M through 2028-29, Claxton $23.1M through 2027-28. Whether either fits a trade is a Trade Machine question, not a stat one.
