Where the gap is

from the numbers above

Keyonte George scored more in 2025-26, 3.5 points a game apart (23.6 vs 20.1), on George's heavier usage (27.5% vs 24.8%).

George is the more efficient scorer by true shooting, 60.9% to 55.1%; TS% folds threes and free throws into one number, so the gap survives shot-diet differences.

Playmaking goes to George (6.1 vs 3.2 assists), the glass to Adebayo (10.0 vs 3.7 rebounds).

Availability is part of the comparison: Adebayo played 19 more games (73 vs 54 of 82).

With Adebayo on the floor his team outscored opponents by +6.1 per 100 possessions, against -8.6 for George; 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, George $6.6M through 2031-32. Whether either fits a trade is a Trade Machine question, not a stat one.
