Where the gap is

from the numbers above

Doncic is the more efficient scorer by true shooting, 61.6% to 60.0%; TS% folds threes and free throws into one number, so the gap survives shot-diet differences.

Playmaking goes to Doncic (8.3 vs 6.7 assists), the glass to Doncic (7.7 vs 6.9 rebounds).

With Doncic on the floor his team outscored opponents by +3.8 per 100 possessions, against +0.3 for Avdija; on-court net rating carries the teammates with it, so read it next to PIE.

On the books for 2026-27: Avdija $13.1M through 2027-28, Doncic $49.8M through 2028-29. Whether either fits a trade is a Trade Machine question, not a stat one.
