Where the gap is

from the numbers above

Jalen Johnson scored more in 2025-26, 2.1 points a game apart (22.5 vs 20.4), on Johnson's heavier usage (26.4% vs 25.9%).

Johnson is the more efficient scorer by true shooting, 58.1% to 56.9%; TS% folds threes and free throws into one number, so the gap survives shot-diet differences.

Playmaking goes to Johnson (7.9 vs 6.2 assists), the glass to Johnson (10.3 vs 8.9 rebounds).

With Sengun on the floor his team outscored opponents by +3.4 per 100 possessions, against +3.2 for Johnson; 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, Johnson $30.0M through 2029-30. Whether either fits a trade is a Trade Machine question, not a stat one.
