Where the gap is

from the numbers above

Jaylen Brown scored more in 2025-26, 2.6 points a game apart (28.7 vs 26.1), on Brown's heavier usage (35.1% vs 30.7%).

Booker is the more efficient scorer by true shooting, 58.5% to 57.3%; TS% folds threes and free throws into one number, so the gap survives shot-diet differences.

Playmaking goes to Booker (6.0 vs 5.1 assists), the glass to Brown (6.9 vs 3.9 rebounds).

With Brown on the floor his team outscored opponents by +6.5 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, Brown $57.1M through 2028-29. Whether either fits a trade is a Trade Machine question, not a stat one.
