Where the gap is

from the numbers above

Brandon Miller scored more in 2025-26, 0.1 points a game apart (20.2 vs 20.1), on Miller's heavier usage (27.2% vs 24.8%).

Miller is the more efficient scorer by true shooting, 57.4% to 55.1%; TS% folds threes and free throws into one number, so the gap survives shot-diet differences.

Playmaking goes to Miller (3.3 vs 3.2 assists), the glass to Adebayo (10.0 vs 4.9 rebounds).

Availability is part of the comparison: Adebayo played 8 more games (73 vs 65 of 82).

With Miller on the floor his team outscored opponents by +8.5 per 100 possessions, against +6.1 for Adebayo; on-court net rating carries the teammates with it, so read it next to PIE.

On the books for 2026-27: Adebayo $49.8M through 2028-29, Miller $15.1M through 2026-27. Whether either fits a trade is a Trade Machine question, not a stat one.
