Where the gap is

from the numbers above

Donovan Mitchell scored more in 2025-26, 7.5 points a game apart (27.9 vs 20.4), on Mitchell's heavier usage (31.1% vs 25.9%).

Mitchell is the more efficient scorer by true shooting, 61.3% 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 5.7 assists), the glass to Sengun (8.9 vs 4.5 rebounds).

With Mitchell on the floor his team outscored opponents by +7.2 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 —, Mitchell $50.1M through 2030-31. Whether either fits a trade is a Trade Machine question, not a stat one.
