Where the gap is

from the numbers above

Anthony Edwards scored more in 2025-26, 4.6 points a game apart (28.8 vs 24.2), on Edwards's heavier usage (30.9% vs 29.2%).

Edwards is the more efficient scorer by true shooting, 61.7% to 59.5%; TS% folds threes and free throws into one number, so the gap survives shot-diet differences.

Playmaking goes to Edwards (3.7 vs 3.0 assists), the glass to Porter Jr. (7.1 vs 5.0 rebounds).

Availability is part of the comparison: Edwards played 9 more games (61 vs 52 of 82).

With Edwards on the floor his team outscored opponents by +3.5 per 100 possessions, against -6.6 for Porter Jr.; 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, Porter Jr. $40.8M through 2026-27. Whether either fits a trade is a Trade Machine question, not a stat one.
