Where the gap is

from the numbers above

Norman Powell scored more in 2025-26, 1.5 points a game apart (21.7 vs 20.2), on Miller's heavier usage (27.2% vs 26.2%).

Powell is the more efficient scorer by true shooting, 60.9% to 57.4%; TS% folds threes and free throws into one number, so the gap survives shot-diet differences.

Playmaking goes to Miller (3.3 vs 2.5 assists), the glass to Miller (4.9 vs 3.5 rebounds).

With Miller on the floor his team outscored opponents by +8.5 per 100 possessions, against +0.6 for Powell; 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, Powell $21.5M through 2027-28. Whether either fits a trade is a Trade Machine question, not a stat one.
