Playmaking goes to Miller (3.3 vs 2.0 assists), the glass to Jackson Jr. (5.7 vs 4.9 rebounds).

Availability is part of the comparison: Miller played 17 more games (65 vs 48 of 82).

With Miller on the floor his team outscored opponents by +8.5 per 100 possessions, against -2.0 for Jackson Jr.; 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, Jackson Jr. $49.0M through 2029-30. Whether either fits a trade is a Trade Machine question, not a stat one.
