Where the gap is

from the numbers above

Quinten Post scored more in 2025-26, 0.1 points a game apart (7.7 vs 7.6), on Post's heavier usage (18.3% vs 11.3%).

Kalkbrenner is the more efficient scorer by true shooting, 76.2% to 56.0%; TS% folds threes and free throws into one number, so the gap survives shot-diet differences.

Playmaking goes to Post (1.4 vs 0.8 assists), the glass to Kalkbrenner (5.5 vs 4.0 rebounds).

With Post on the floor his team outscored opponents by +2.3 per 100 possessions, against +1.1 for Kalkbrenner; on-court net rating carries the teammates with it, so read it next to PIE.

On the books for 2026-27: Post $8.3M through 2028-29, Kalkbrenner $2.4M through 2028-29. Whether either fits a trade is a Trade Machine question, not a stat one.
