Where the gap is

from the numbers above

Stephen Curry scored more in 2025-26, 5.1 points a game apart (26.6 vs 21.5), on Curry's heavier usage (30.8% vs 22.3%).

Curry is the more efficient scorer by true shooting, 63.7% to 61.3%; TS% folds threes and free throws into one number, so the gap survives shot-diet differences.

Playmaking goes to Curry (4.7 vs 3.8 assists), the glass to Murphy III (5.7 vs 3.6 rebounds).

Availability is part of the comparison: Murphy III played 23 more games (66 vs 43 of 82).

With Curry on the floor his team outscored opponents by +2.8 per 100 possessions, against -3.6 for Murphy III; on-court net rating carries the teammates with it, so read it next to PIE.

On the books for 2026-27: Curry $62.6M through 2028-29, Murphy III $27.0M through 2028-29. Whether either fits a trade is a Trade Machine question, not a stat one.
