Where the gap is

from the numbers above

Jalen Suggs scored more in 2025-26, 0.2 points a game apart (13.8 vs 13.6), on Suggs's heavier usage (22.0% vs 21.0%).

Mitchell is the more efficient scorer by true shooting, 58.5% to 56.1%; TS% folds threes and free throws into one number, so the gap survives shot-diet differences.

Playmaking goes to Suggs (5.5 vs 3.6 assists), the glass to Suggs (3.9 vs 3.3 rebounds).

With Mitchell on the floor his team outscored opponents by +15.6 per 100 possessions, against +5.2 for Suggs; on-court net rating carries the teammates with it, so read it next to PIE.

On the books for 2026-27: Mitchell $2.9M through 2027-28, Suggs $32.4M through 2029-30. Whether either fits a trade is a Trade Machine question, not a stat one.
