Where the gap is

from the numbers above

Deandre Ayton scored more in 2025-26, 0.6 points a game apart (12.5 vs 11.9), on Turner's heavier usage (18.1% vs 16.4%).

Ayton is the more efficient scorer by true shooting, 67.6% to 58.4%; TS% folds threes and free throws into one number, so the gap survives shot-diet differences.

Playmaking goes to Turner (1.5 vs 0.8 assists), the glass to Ayton (8.0 vs 5.3 rebounds).

With Ayton on the floor his team outscored opponents by +0.1 per 100 possessions, against -6.2 for Turner; on-court net rating carries the teammates with it, so read it next to PIE.

On the books for 2026-27: Ayton $8.1M through 2026-27, Turner $26.6M through 2028-29. Whether either fits a trade is a Trade Machine question, not a stat one.
