Where the gap is

from the numbers above

Pascal Siakam scored more in 2025-26, 2.5 points a game apart (24.0 vs 21.5), on Siakam's heavier usage (29.2% vs 22.3%).

Murphy III is the more efficient scorer by true shooting, 61.3% to 56.2%; TS% folds threes and free throws into one number, so the gap survives shot-diet differences.

Playmaking goes to Murphy III (3.8 vs 3.8 assists), the glass to Siakam (6.6 vs 5.7 rebounds).

With Murphy III on the floor his team outscored opponents by -3.6 per 100 possessions, against -5.6 for Siakam; on-court net rating carries the teammates with it, so read it next to PIE.

On the books for 2026-27: Siakam $48.9M through 2027-28, Murphy III $27.0M through 2028-29. Whether either fits a trade is a Trade Machine question, not a stat one.
