Where the gap is

from the numbers above

Cooper Flagg scored more in 2025-26, 0.6 points a game apart (21.0 vs 20.4), on Flagg's heavier usage (26.4% vs 25.9%).

Sengun is the more efficient scorer by true shooting, 56.9% to 54.8%; TS% folds threes and free throws into one number, so the gap survives shot-diet differences.

Playmaking goes to Sengun (6.2 vs 4.5 assists), the glass to Sengun (8.9 vs 6.7 rebounds).

With Sengun on the floor his team outscored opponents by +3.4 per 100 possessions, against -5.2 for Flagg; 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, Flagg $14.5M through 2028-29. Whether either fits a trade is a Trade Machine question, not a stat one.
