Where the gap is

from the numbers above

Aaron Gordon scored more in 2025-26, 0.8 points a game apart (16.2 vs 15.4), on Gordon's heavier usage (21.3% vs 19.4%).

Gordon is the more efficient scorer by true shooting, 62.0% to 58.6%; TS% folds threes and free throws into one number, so the gap survives shot-diet differences.

Playmaking goes to Wiggins (2.7 vs 2.7 assists), the glass to Gordon (5.8 vs 4.8 rebounds).

Availability is part of the comparison: Wiggins played 32 more games (68 vs 36 of 82).

With Gordon on the floor his team outscored opponents by +12.7 per 100 possessions, against -0.1 for Wiggins; on-court net rating carries the teammates with it, so read it next to PIE.

On the books for 2026-27: Gordon $33.7M through 2028-29, Wiggins $30.2M through 2028-29. Whether either fits a trade is a Trade Machine question, not a stat one.
