Where the gap is

from the numbers above

Tyrese Proctor scored more in 2025-26, 0.0 points a game apart (5.4 vs 5.4), on Proctor's heavier usage (21.4% vs 10.9%).

Proctor is the more efficient scorer by true shooting, 55.6% to 53.1%; TS% folds threes and free throws into one number, so the gap survives shot-diet differences.

Playmaking goes to James (2.0 vs 1.5 assists), the glass to James (3.5 vs 1.3 rebounds).

Availability is part of the comparison: James played 32 more games (82 vs 50 of 82).

With James on the floor his team outscored opponents by +3.3 per 100 possessions, against -0.3 for Proctor; on-court net rating carries the teammates with it, so read it next to PIE.

On the books for 2026-27: James $2.4M through 2028-29, Proctor $2.2M through 2028-29. Whether either fits a trade is a Trade Machine question, not a stat one.
