Where the gap is

from the numbers above

Jalen Brunson scored more in 2025-26, 4.5 points a game apart (26.0 vs 21.5), on Brunson's heavier usage (29.6% vs 26.4%).

Efficiency is a wash: true shooting within a point of each other (57.3% vs 58.0%).

Playmaking goes to Brunson (6.8 vs 3.7 assists), the glass to Ingram (5.6 vs 3.3 rebounds).

With Brunson on the floor his team outscored opponents by +6.1 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, Brunson $37.7M through 2028-29. Whether either fits a trade is a Trade Machine question, not a stat one.
