Where the gap is

from the numbers above

T.J. McConnell scored more in 2025-26, 0.0 points a game apart (9.4 vs 9.4), on McConnell's heavier usage (22.7% vs 19.4%).

McConnell is the more efficient scorer by true shooting, 56.7% to 53.8%; TS% folds threes and free throws into one number, so the gap survives shot-diet differences.

Playmaking goes to McConnell (5.1 vs 1.7 assists), the glass to Wiggins (3.1 vs 2.2 rebounds).

Availability is part of the comparison: Wiggins played 9 more games (65 vs 56 of 82).

With Wiggins on the floor his team outscored opponents by +6.2 per 100 possessions, against -7.6 for McConnell; on-court net rating carries the teammates with it, so read it next to PIE.

On the books for 2026-27: Wiggins $9.2M through 2028-29, McConnell $11.0M through 2028-29. Whether either fits a trade is a Trade Machine question, not a stat one.
