Where the gap is

from the numbers above

Stephen Curry scored more in 2025-26, 2.4 points a game apart (26.6 vs 24.2), on Curry's heavier usage (30.8% vs 28.5%).

Curry is the more efficient scorer by true shooting, 63.7% to 60.0%; TS% folds threes and free throws into one number, so the gap survives shot-diet differences.

Playmaking goes to Avdija (6.7 vs 4.7 assists), the glass to Avdija (6.9 vs 3.6 rebounds).

Availability is part of the comparison: Avdija played 23 more games (66 vs 43 of 82).

With Curry on the floor his team outscored opponents by +2.8 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, Curry $62.6M through 2026-27. Whether either fits a trade is a Trade Machine question, not a stat one.
