Where the gap is

from the numbers above

De'Aaron Fox scored more in 2025-26, 0.2 points a game apart (18.6 vs 18.4), on Fox's heavier usage (24.2% vs 22.2%).

DeRozan is the more efficient scorer by true shooting, 59.4% to 57.8%; TS% folds threes and free throws into one number, so the gap survives shot-diet differences.

Playmaking goes to Fox (6.2 vs 4.1 assists), the glass to Fox (3.8 vs 2.9 rebounds).

With Fox on the floor his team outscored opponents by +9.9 per 100 possessions, against -11.7 for DeRozan; on-court net rating carries the teammates with it, so read it next to PIE.

On the books for 2026-27: Fox $49.8M through 2029-30, DeRozan — through —. Whether either fits a trade is a Trade Machine question, not a stat one.
