Playmaking goes to Barnes (5.9 vs 2.5 assists), the glass to Barnes (7.5 vs 5.6 rebounds).

Availability is part of the comparison: Barnes played 8 more games (80 vs 72 of 82).

With Barnes on the floor his team outscored opponents by +4.6 per 100 possessions, against -3.6 for Bey; on-court net rating carries the teammates with it, so read it next to PIE.
