Where the gap is

from the numbers above

Alperen Sengun scored more in 2025-26, 0.9 points a game apart (20.4 vs 19.5), on Sengun's heavier usage (25.9% vs 23.1%).

Duren is the more efficient scorer by true shooting, 68.8% 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 2.0 assists), the glass to Duren (10.5 vs 8.9 rebounds).

With Duren on the floor his team outscored opponents by +11.8 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, Duren $40.2M through 2030-31. Whether either fits a trade is a Trade Machine question, not a stat one.
