Where the gap is

from the numbers above

Nikola Jokić scored more in 2025-26, 7.3 points a game apart (27.7 vs 20.4), on Jokić's heavier usage (28.9% vs 25.9%).

Jokić is the more efficient scorer by true shooting, 67.0% to 56.9%; TS% folds threes and free throws into one number, so the gap survives shot-diet differences.

Playmaking goes to Jokić (10.7 vs 6.2 assists), the glass to Jokić (12.9 vs 8.9 rebounds).

With Jokić on the floor his team outscored opponents by +10.8 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 — through —, Jokić $59.0M through 2027-28. Whether either fits a trade is a Trade Machine question, not a stat one.
