Where the gap is

from the numbers above

OG Anunoby scored more in 2025-26, 0.5 points a game apart (16.7 vs 16.2), on Gordon's heavier usage (21.3% vs 19.4%).

Efficiency is a wash: true shooting within a point of each other (62.0% vs 62.0%).

Playmaking goes to Gordon (2.7 vs 2.2 assists), the glass to Gordon (5.8 vs 5.2 rebounds).

Availability is part of the comparison: Anunoby played 31 more games (67 vs 36 of 82).

With Gordon on the floor his team outscored opponents by +12.7 per 100 possessions, against +9.2 for Anunoby; 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, Anunoby $42.5M through 2028-29. Whether either fits a trade is a Trade Machine question, not a stat one.
