Where the gap is

from the numbers above

Anthony Davis scored more in 2025-26, 1.0 points a game apart (20.4 vs 19.4), on Davis's heavier usage (27.2% vs 25.3%).

Jackson Jr. is the more efficient scorer by true shooting, 57.6% to 55.1%; TS% folds threes and free throws into one number, so the gap survives shot-diet differences.

Playmaking goes to Davis (2.8 vs 2.0 assists), the glass to Davis (11.1 vs 5.7 rebounds).

Availability is part of the comparison: Jackson Jr. played 28 more games (48 vs 20 of 82).

With Jackson Jr. on the floor his team outscored opponents by -2.0 per 100 possessions, against -4.6 for Davis; 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, Jackson Jr. $49.0M through 2029-30. Whether either fits a trade is a Trade Machine question, not a stat one.
