Where the gap is

from the numbers above

Anthony Edwards scored more in 2025-26, 7.1 points a game apart (28.8 vs 21.7), on Edwards's heavier usage (30.9% vs 26.2%).

Efficiency is a wash: true shooting within a point of each other (61.7% vs 60.9%).

Playmaking goes to Edwards (3.7 vs 2.5 assists), the glass to Edwards (5.0 vs 3.5 rebounds).

With Edwards on the floor his team outscored opponents by +3.5 per 100 possessions, against +0.6 for Powell; 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, Powell $21.5M through 2027-28. Whether either fits a trade is a Trade Machine question, not a stat one.
