Where the gap is

from the numbers above

Anthony Edwards scored more in 2025-26, 8.7 points a game apart (28.8 vs 20.1), on Edwards's heavier usage (30.9% vs 25.1%).

Efficiency is a wash: true shooting within a point of each other (61.7% vs 61.9%).

Playmaking goes to Edwards (3.7 vs 3.0 assists), the glass to Towns (11.9 vs 5.0 rebounds).

Availability is part of the comparison: Towns played 14 more games (75 vs 61 of 82).

With Towns on the floor his team outscored opponents by +7.0 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, Towns $57.1M through 2027-28. Whether either fits a trade is a Trade Machine question, not a stat one.
