Where the gap is

from the numbers above

Deni Avdija scored more in 2025-26, 0.2 points a game apart (24.2 vs 24.0), on Siakam's heavier usage (29.2% vs 28.5%).

Avdija is the more efficient scorer by true shooting, 60.0% to 56.2%; TS% folds threes and free throws into one number, so the gap survives shot-diet differences.

Playmaking goes to Avdija (6.7 vs 3.8 assists), the glass to Avdija (6.9 vs 6.6 rebounds).

With Avdija on the floor his team outscored opponents by +0.3 per 100 possessions, against -5.6 for Siakam; 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, Siakam $48.9M through 2027-28. Whether either fits a trade is a Trade Machine question, not a stat one.
