Where the gap is

from the numbers above

Cade Cunningham scored more in 2025-26, 3.5 points a game apart (23.9 vs 20.4), on Cunningham's heavier usage (29.6% vs 25.9%).

Efficiency is a wash: true shooting within a point of each other (56.9% vs 56.4%).

Playmaking goes to Cunningham (9.9 vs 6.2 assists), the glass to Sengun (8.9 vs 5.5 rebounds).

Availability is part of the comparison: Sengun played 8 more games (72 vs 64 of 82).

With Cunningham on the floor his team outscored opponents by +11.4 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 $35.6M through 2029-30, Cunningham $50.1M through 2029-30. Whether either fits a trade is a Trade Machine question, not a stat one.
