Where the gap is

from the numbers above

Zach Edey scored more in 2025-26, 1.1 points a game apart (13.6 vs 12.5), on Edey's heavier usage (20.0% vs 16.4%).

Efficiency is a wash: true shooting within a point of each other (67.6% vs 66.9%).

Playmaking goes to Edey (1.1 vs 0.8 assists), the glass to Edey (11.1 vs 8.0 rebounds).

Availability is part of the comparison: Ayton played 61 more games (72 vs 11 of 82).

With Edey on the floor his team outscored opponents by +18.3 per 100 possessions, against +0.1 for Ayton; 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, Edey $6.3M through 2027-28. Whether either fits a trade is a Trade Machine question, not a stat one.
