Where the gap is

from the numbers above

Nikola Jokić scored more in 2025-26, 7.5 points a game apart (27.7 vs 20.2), on Jokić's heavier usage (28.9% vs 27.2%).

Jokić is the more efficient scorer by true shooting, 67.0% to 57.4%; TS% folds threes and free throws into one number, so the gap survives shot-diet differences.

Playmaking goes to Jokić (10.7 vs 3.3 assists), the glass to Jokić (12.9 vs 4.9 rebounds).

With Jokić on the floor his team outscored opponents by +10.8 per 100 possessions, against +8.5 for Miller; 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, Jokić $59.0M through 2027-28. Whether either fits a trade is a Trade Machine question, not a stat one.
