Where the gap is

from the numbers above

Ayo Dosunmu scored more in 2025-26, 0.5 points a game apart (14.8 vs 14.3), on Simons's heavier usage (22.7% vs 19.7%).

Dosunmu is the more efficient scorer by true shooting, 63.0% to 57.6%; TS% folds threes and free throws into one number, so the gap survives shot-diet differences.

Playmaking goes to Dosunmu (3.6 vs 2.4 assists), the glass to Dosunmu (3.4 vs 2.5 rebounds).

Availability is part of the comparison: Dosunmu played 14 more games (69 vs 55 of 82).

With Simons on the floor his team outscored opponents by +3.0 per 100 possessions, against -1.5 for Dosunmu; on-court net rating carries the teammates with it, so read it next to PIE.

On the books for 2026-27: Simons $6.0M through 2027-28, Dosunmu $19.3M through 2030-31. Whether either fits a trade is a Trade Machine question, not a stat one.
