Where the gap is

from the numbers above

Daniss Jenkins scored more in 2025-26, 0.2 points a game apart (9.3 vs 9.1), on Jenkins's heavier usage (20.9% vs 20.0%).

Jackson is the more efficient scorer by true shooting, 58.9% to 52.5%; TS% folds threes and free throws into one number, so the gap survives shot-diet differences.

Playmaking goes to Jenkins (3.9 vs 2.9 assists), the glass to Jackson (2.3 vs 2.3 rebounds).

Availability is part of the comparison: Jenkins played 23 more games (72 vs 49 of 82).

With Jenkins on the floor his team outscored opponents by +6.6 per 100 possessions, against -3.8 for Jackson; on-court net rating carries the teammates with it, so read it next to PIE.

On the books for 2026-27: Jenkins $4.0M through 2026-27, Jackson — through —. Whether either fits a trade is a Trade Machine question, not a stat one.
