Where the gap is

from the numbers above

Anthony Davis scored more in 2025-26, 1.1 points a game apart (20.4 vs 19.3), on Davis's heavier usage (27.2% vs 25.4%).

Barrett is the more efficient scorer by true shooting, 58.5% to 55.1%; TS% folds threes and free throws into one number, so the gap survives shot-diet differences.

Playmaking goes to Barrett (3.3 vs 2.8 assists), the glass to Davis (11.1 vs 5.3 rebounds).

Availability is part of the comparison: Barrett played 37 more games (57 vs 20 of 82).

With Barrett on the floor his team outscored opponents by +4.9 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, Barrett $29.6M through 2026-27. Whether either fits a trade is a Trade Machine question, not a stat one.
