Where the gap is

from the numbers above

Devin Booker scored more in 2025-26, 5.1 points a game apart (26.1 vs 21.0), on Booker's heavier usage (30.7% vs 26.4%).

Booker is the more efficient scorer by true shooting, 58.5% to 54.8%; TS% folds threes and free throws into one number, so the gap survives shot-diet differences.

Playmaking goes to Booker (6.0 vs 4.5 assists), the glass to Flagg (6.7 vs 3.9 rebounds).

With Booker on the floor his team outscored opponents by +3.9 per 100 possessions, against -5.2 for Flagg; on-court net rating carries the teammates with it, so read it next to PIE.

On the books for 2026-27: Flagg $14.5M through 2028-29, Booker $57.1M through 2029-30. Whether either fits a trade is a Trade Machine question, not a stat one.
