Where the gap is

from the numbers above

Cooper Flagg scored more in 2025-26, 0.6 points a game apart (21.0 vs 20.4), on Davis's heavier usage (27.2% vs 26.4%).

Efficiency is a wash: true shooting within a point of each other (55.1% vs 54.8%).

Playmaking goes to Flagg (4.5 vs 2.8 assists), the glass to Davis (11.1 vs 6.7 rebounds).

Availability is part of the comparison: Flagg played 50 more games (70 vs 20 of 82).

With Davis on the floor his team outscored opponents by -4.6 per 100 possessions, against -5.2 for Flagg; on-court net rating carries the teammates with it, so read it next to PIE.

On the books for 2026-27: Davis $58.5M through 2027-28, Flagg $14.5M through 2028-29. Whether either fits a trade is a Trade Machine question, not a stat one.
