Where the gap is

from the numbers above

Bam Adebayo scored more in 2025-26, 0.6 points a game apart (20.1 vs 19.5), on Adebayo's heavier usage (24.8% vs 23.1%).

Duren is the more efficient scorer by true shooting, 68.8% to 55.1%; TS% folds threes and free throws into one number, so the gap survives shot-diet differences.

Playmaking goes to Adebayo (3.2 vs 2.0 assists), the glass to Duren (10.5 vs 10.0 rebounds).

With Duren on the floor his team outscored opponents by +11.8 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, Duren — through —. Whether either fits a trade is a Trade Machine question, not a stat one.
