Where the gap is

from the numbers above

Zach LaVine scored more in 2025-26, 0.6 points a game apart (19.2 vs 18.6), on Fox's heavier usage (24.2% vs 23.4%).

LaVine is the more efficient scorer by true shooting, 61.4% 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 2.3 assists), the glass to Fox (3.8 vs 2.8 rebounds).

Availability is part of the comparison: Fox played 33 more games (72 vs 39 of 82).

With Fox on the floor his team outscored opponents by +9.9 per 100 possessions, against -12.6 for LaVine; 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, LaVine $49.0M through 2026-27. Whether either fits a trade is a Trade Machine question, not a stat one.
