Where the gap is

from the numbers above

Devin Booker scored more in 2025-26, 0.1 points a game apart (26.1 vs 26.0), on Booker's heavier usage (30.7% vs 29.6%).

Efficiency is a wash: true shooting within a point of each other (58.5% vs 58.0%).

Playmaking goes to Brunson (6.8 vs 6.0 assists), the glass to Booker (3.9 vs 3.3 rebounds).

Availability is part of the comparison: Brunson played 10 more games (74 vs 64 of 82).

With Brunson on the floor his team outscored opponents by +6.1 per 100 possessions, against +3.9 for Booker; on-court net rating carries the teammates with it, so read it next to PIE.

On the books for 2026-27: Booker $57.1M through 2029-30, Brunson $37.7M through 2028-29. Whether either fits a trade is a Trade Machine question, not a stat one.
