Where the gap is

from the numbers above

Jalen Brunson scored more in 2025-26, 5.8 points a game apart (26.0 vs 20.2), on Brunson's heavier usage (29.6% vs 27.2%).

Efficiency is a wash: true shooting within a point of each other (57.4% vs 58.0%).

Playmaking goes to Brunson (6.8 vs 3.3 assists), the glass to Miller (4.9 vs 3.3 rebounds).

Availability is part of the comparison: Brunson played 9 more games (74 vs 65 of 82).

With Miller on the floor his team outscored opponents by +8.5 per 100 possessions, against +6.1 for Brunson; on-court net rating carries the teammates with it, so read it next to PIE.

On the books for 2026-27: Miller $15.1M through 2026-27, Brunson $37.7M through 2028-29. Whether either fits a trade is a Trade Machine question, not a stat one.
