Where the gap is

from the numbers above

Jalen Johnson scored more in 2025-26, 2.3 points a game apart (22.5 vs 20.2), on Miller's heavier usage (27.2% vs 26.4%).

Efficiency is a wash: true shooting within a point of each other (57.4% vs 58.1%).

Playmaking goes to Johnson (7.9 vs 3.3 assists), the glass to Johnson (10.3 vs 4.9 rebounds).

With Miller on the floor his team outscored opponents by +8.5 per 100 possessions, against +3.2 for Johnson; 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, Johnson $30.0M through 2029-30. Whether either fits a trade is a Trade Machine question, not a stat one.
