Where the gap is

from the numbers above

Stephen Curry scored more in 2025-26, 6.5 points a game apart (26.6 vs 20.1), on Curry's heavier usage (30.8% vs 24.8%).

Curry is the more efficient scorer by true shooting, 63.7% to 55.1%; TS% folds threes and free throws into one number, so the gap survives shot-diet differences.

Playmaking goes to Curry (4.7 vs 3.2 assists), the glass to Adebayo (10.0 vs 3.6 rebounds).

Availability is part of the comparison: Adebayo played 30 more games (73 vs 43 of 82).

With Adebayo on the floor his team outscored opponents by +6.1 per 100 possessions, against +2.8 for Curry; 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, Curry $62.6M through 2026-27. Whether either fits a trade is a Trade Machine question, not a stat one.
