Where the gap is

from the numbers above

Donovan Mitchell scored more in 2025-26, 6.4 points a game apart (27.9 vs 21.5), on Mitchell's heavier usage (31.1% vs 26.4%).

Mitchell is the more efficient scorer by true shooting, 61.3% to 57.3%; TS% folds threes and free throws into one number, so the gap survives shot-diet differences.

Playmaking goes to Mitchell (5.7 vs 3.7 assists), the glass to Ingram (5.6 vs 4.5 rebounds).

With Mitchell on the floor his team outscored opponents by +7.2 per 100 possessions, against +1.0 for Ingram; on-court net rating carries the teammates with it, so read it next to PIE.

On the books for 2026-27: Ingram $40.0M through 2027-28, Mitchell $50.1M through 2030-31. Whether either fits a trade is a Trade Machine question, not a stat one.
