Where the gap is

from the numbers above

Tyrese Maxey scored more in 2025-26, 6.8 points a game apart (28.3 vs 21.5), on Maxey's heavier usage (28.6% vs 22.3%).

Murphy III is the more efficient scorer by true shooting, 61.3% to 58.8%; TS% folds threes and free throws into one number, so the gap survives shot-diet differences.

Playmaking goes to Maxey (6.6 vs 3.8 assists), the glass to Murphy III (5.7 vs 4.1 rebounds).

With Maxey on the floor his team outscored opponents by +1.5 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: Murphy III $27.0M through 2028-29, Maxey $40.8M through 2028-29. Whether either fits a trade is a Trade Machine question, not a stat one.
