Where the gap is

from the numbers above

Kristaps Porzingis scored more in 2025-26, 0.5 points a game apart (16.7 vs 16.2), on Porzingis's heavier usage (26.5% vs 21.3%).

Gordon is the more efficient scorer by true shooting, 62.0% to 58.2%; TS% folds threes and free throws into one number, so the gap survives shot-diet differences.

Playmaking goes to Gordon (2.7 vs 2.5 assists), the glass to Gordon (5.8 vs 5.2 rebounds).

With Gordon on the floor his team outscored opponents by +12.7 per 100 possessions, against +3.0 for Porzingis; 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, Porzingis $19.5M through 2027-28. Whether either fits a trade is a Trade Machine question, not a stat one.
