Where the gap is

from the numbers above

Tyler Burton scored more in 2025-26, 0.3 points a game apart (10.8 vs 10.5), on Eason's heavier usage (18.1% vs 18.0%).

Efficiency is a wash: true shooting within a point of each other (51.4% vs 52.1%).

Playmaking goes to Eason (1.5 vs 1.0 assists), the glass to Eason (6.3 vs 4.2 rebounds).

Availability is part of the comparison: Eason played 48 more games (60 vs 12 of 82).

With Eason on the floor his team outscored opponents by +6.5 per 100 possessions, against -22.3 for Burton; on-court net rating carries the teammates with it, so read it next to PIE.

On the books for 2026-27: Eason $14.1M through 2030-31, Burton — through —. Whether either fits a trade is a Trade Machine question, not a stat one.
