Where the gap is

from the numbers above

Paolo Banchero scored more in 2025-26, 1.8 points a game apart (22.2 vs 20.4), on Banchero's heavier usage (27.4% vs 25.9%).

Efficiency is a wash: true shooting within a point of each other (56.9% vs 56.6%).

Playmaking goes to Sengun (6.2 vs 5.2 assists), the glass to Sengun (8.9 vs 8.4 rebounds).

With Sengun on the floor his team outscored opponents by +3.4 per 100 possessions, against -0.2 for Banchero; 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, Banchero $41.5M through 2030-31. Whether either fits a trade is a Trade Machine question, not a stat one.
