Reaves is the more efficient scorer by true shooting, 64.1% to 56.9%; TS% folds threes and free throws into one number, so the gap survives shot-diet differences.

Playmaking goes to Sengun (6.2 vs 5.5 assists), the glass to Sengun (8.9 vs 4.7 rebounds).

Availability is part of the comparison: Sengun played 21 more games (72 vs 51 of 82).

With Reaves on the floor his team outscored opponents by +5.0 per 100 possessions, against +3.4 for Sengun; on-court net rating carries the teammates with it, so read it next to PIE.

On the books for 2026-27: Sengun — through —, Reaves $41.2M through 2029-30. Whether either fits a trade is a Trade Machine question, not a stat one.
