Where the gap is

from the numbers above

Devin Booker scored more in 2025-26, 2.8 points a game apart (26.1 vs 23.3), on Booker's heavier usage (30.7% vs 25.8%).

Reaves is the more efficient scorer by true shooting, 64.1% to 58.5%; TS% folds threes and free throws into one number, so the gap survives shot-diet differences.

Playmaking goes to Booker (6.0 vs 5.5 assists), the glass to Reaves (4.7 vs 3.9 rebounds).

Availability is part of the comparison: Booker played 13 more games (64 vs 51 of 82).

With Reaves on the floor his team outscored opponents by +5.0 per 100 possessions, against +3.9 for Booker; on-court net rating carries the teammates with it, so read it next to PIE.

On the books for 2026-27: Reaves $41.2M through 2029-30, Booker $57.1M through 2029-30. Whether either fits a trade is a Trade Machine question, not a stat one.
