Where the gap is

from the numbers above

Devin Booker scored more in 2025-26, 6.0 points a game apart (26.1 vs 20.1), on Booker's heavier usage (30.7% vs 24.8%).

Booker is the more efficient scorer by true shooting, 58.5% to 55.1%; TS% folds threes and free throws into one number, so the gap survives shot-diet differences.

Playmaking goes to Booker (6.0 vs 3.2 assists), the glass to Adebayo (10.0 vs 3.9 rebounds).

Availability is part of the comparison: Adebayo played 9 more games (73 vs 64 of 82).

With Adebayo on the floor his team outscored opponents by +6.1 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: Adebayo $49.8M through 2028-29, Booker $57.1M through 2029-30. Whether either fits a trade is a Trade Machine question, not a stat one.
