Where the gap is

from the numbers above

Deni Avdija scored more in 2025-26, 0.6 points a game apart (24.2 vs 23.6), on Avdija's heavier usage (28.5% vs 27.5%).

Efficiency is a wash: true shooting within a point of each other (60.0% vs 60.9%).

Playmaking goes to Avdija (6.7 vs 6.1 assists), the glass to Avdija (6.9 vs 3.7 rebounds).

Availability is part of the comparison: Avdija played 12 more games (66 vs 54 of 82).

With Avdija on the floor his team outscored opponents by +0.3 per 100 possessions, against -8.6 for George; on-court net rating carries the teammates with it, so read it next to PIE.
