Where the gap is

from the numbers above

Anthony Edwards scored more in 2025-26, 0.1 points a game apart (28.8 vs 28.7), on Brown's heavier usage (35.1% vs 30.9%).

Edwards is the more efficient scorer by true shooting, 61.7% to 57.3%; TS% folds threes and free throws into one number, so the gap survives shot-diet differences.

Playmaking goes to Brown (5.1 vs 3.7 assists), the glass to Brown (6.9 vs 5.0 rebounds).

Availability is part of the comparison: Brown played 10 more games (71 vs 61 of 82).

With Brown on the floor his team outscored opponents by +6.5 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, Brown $57.1M through 2028-29. Whether either fits a trade is a Trade Machine question, not a stat one.
