Where the gap is

from the numbers above

Anthony Edwards scored more in 2025-26, 5.5 points a game apart (28.8 vs 23.3), on Edwards's heavier usage (30.9% vs 25.8%).

Reaves is the more efficient scorer by true shooting, 64.1% to 61.7%; TS% folds threes and free throws into one number, so the gap survives shot-diet differences.

Playmaking goes to Reaves (5.5 vs 3.7 assists), the glass to Edwards (5.0 vs 4.7 rebounds).

Availability is part of the comparison: Edwards played 10 more games (61 vs 51 of 82).

With Reaves on the floor his team outscored opponents by +5.0 per 100 possessions, against +3.5 for Edwards; on-court net rating carries the teammates with it, so read it next to PIE.

On the books for 2026-27: Edwards $48.9M through 2028-29, Reaves $41.2M through 2029-30. Whether either fits a trade is a Trade Machine question, not a stat one.
