Where the gap is

from the numbers above

Alperen Sengun scored more in 2025-26, 0.3 points a game apart (20.4 vs 20.1), on Sengun's heavier usage (25.9% vs 25.1%).

Towns is the more efficient scorer by true shooting, 61.9% 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 3.0 assists), the glass to Towns (11.9 vs 8.9 rebounds).

With Towns on the floor his team outscored opponents by +7.0 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 —, Towns $57.1M through 2027-28. Whether either fits a trade is a Trade Machine question, not a stat one.
