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 12.2%).

Efficiency is a wash: true shooting within a point of each other (56.2% vs 55.6%).

Playmaking goes to Missi (1.3 vs 0.3 assists), the glass to Missi (5.8 vs 5.1 rebounds).

Availability is part of the comparison: Missi played 18 more games (66 vs 48 of 82).

With Missi on the floor his team outscored opponents by -1.3 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: Richards $2.4M through 2026-27, Missi $3.5M through 2027-28. Whether either fits a trade is a Trade Machine question, not a stat one.
