Where the gap is

from the numbers above

Austin Reaves scored more in 2025-26, 3.1 points a game apart (23.3 vs 20.2), on Brooks's heavier usage (27.9% vs 25.8%).

Reaves is the more efficient scorer by true shooting, 64.1% to 54.0%; TS% folds threes and free throws into one number, so the gap survives shot-diet differences.

Playmaking goes to Reaves (5.5 vs 1.8 assists), the glass to Reaves (4.7 vs 3.6 rebounds).

With Reaves on the floor his team outscored opponents by +5.0 per 100 possessions, against -1.1 for Brooks; 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, Brooks $20.0M through 2029-30. Whether either fits a trade is a Trade Machine question, not a stat one.
