Where the gap is

from the numbers above

Tyler Burton scored more in 2025-26, 0.5 points a game apart (10.8 vs 10.3), on Riley's heavier usage (19.6% vs 18.0%).

Riley is the more efficient scorer by true shooting, 54.8% to 52.1%; TS% folds threes and free throws into one number, so the gap survives shot-diet differences.

Playmaking goes to Riley (2.0 vs 1.0 assists), the glass to Burton (4.2 vs 2.9 rebounds).

Availability is part of the comparison: Riley played 62 more games (74 vs 12 of 82).

With Riley on the floor his team outscored opponents by -14.1 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: Burton — through —, Riley $3.7M through 2028-29. Whether either fits a trade is a Trade Machine question, not a stat one.
