Where the gap is

from the numbers above

Paul Reed scored more in 2025-26, 0.2 points a game apart (7.8 vs 7.6), on Reed's heavier usage (20.0% vs 19.2%).

Reed is the more efficient scorer by true shooting, 65.0% to 51.6%; TS% folds threes and free throws into one number, so the gap survives shot-diet differences.

Playmaking goes to Dieng (2.4 vs 1.2 assists), the glass to Reed (4.5 vs 3.2 rebounds).

Availability is part of the comparison: Reed played 8 more games (65 vs 57 of 82).

With Reed on the floor his team outscored opponents by +8.1 per 100 possessions, against -8.6 for Dieng; on-court net rating carries the teammates with it, so read it next to PIE.

On the books for 2026-27: Dieng $5.8M through 2028-29, Reed $5.6M through 2026-27. Whether either fits a trade is a Trade Machine question, not a stat one.
