Where the gap is

from the numbers above

Spencer Jones scored more in 2025-26, 0.1 points a game apart (5.5 vs 5.4), on Nance's heavier usage (13.2% vs 9.7%).

Nance is the more efficient scorer by true shooting, 63.9% to 61.9%; TS% folds threes and free throws into one number, so the gap survives shot-diet differences.

Playmaking goes to Nance (1.0 vs 0.8 assists), the glass to Jones (3.3 vs 2.7 rebounds).

Availability is part of the comparison: Jones played 17 more games (64 vs 47 of 82).

With Jones on the floor his team outscored opponents by +1.6 per 100 possessions, against -5.2 for Nance; on-court net rating carries the teammates with it, so read it next to PIE.

On the books for 2026-27: Nance $2.5M through 2027-28, Jones $6.0M through 2027-28. Whether either fits a trade is a Trade Machine question, not a stat one.
