Where the gap is

from the numbers above

Bronny James scored more in 2025-26, 0.4 points a game apart (2.9 vs 2.5), on James's heavier usage (16.3% vs 15.7%).

James is the more efficient scorer by true shooting, 51.7% to 47.6%; TS% folds threes and free throws into one number, so the gap survives shot-diet differences.

Playmaking goes to James (1.2 vs 0.3 assists), the glass to Tonje (1.0 vs 0.5 rebounds).

Availability is part of the comparison: James played 36 more games (42 vs 6 of 82).

With Tonje on the floor his team outscored opponents by -1.8 per 100 possessions, against -8.0 for James; on-court net rating carries the teammates with it, so read it next to PIE.

On the books for 2026-27: James $2.3M through 2027-28, Tonje — through —. Whether either fits a trade is a Trade Machine question, not a stat one.
