Where the gap is

from the numbers above

Trae Young scored more in 2025-26, 0.5 points a game apart (17.9 vs 17.4), on White's heavier usage (28.3% vs 26.2%).

Young is the more efficient scorer by true shooting, 61.2% to 59.5%; TS% folds threes and free throws into one number, so the gap survives shot-diet differences.

Playmaking goes to Young (8.0 vs 4.0 assists), the glass to White (3.4 vs 2.0 rebounds).

Availability is part of the comparison: White played 35 more games (50 vs 15 of 82).

With White on the floor his team outscored opponents by +3.2 per 100 possessions, against -8.1 for Young; on-court net rating carries the teammates with it, so read it next to PIE.

On the books for 2026-27: White $22.8M through 2028-29, Young $49.5M through 2029-30. Whether either fits a trade is a Trade Machine question, not a stat one.
