Where the gap is

from the numbers above

Devin Booker scored more in 2025-26, 6.0 points a game apart (26.1 vs 20.1), on Booker's heavier usage (30.7% vs 25.1%).

Towns is the more efficient scorer by true shooting, 61.9% to 58.5%; TS% folds threes and free throws into one number, so the gap survives shot-diet differences.

Playmaking goes to Booker (6.0 vs 3.0 assists), the glass to Towns (11.9 vs 3.9 rebounds).

Availability is part of the comparison: Towns played 11 more games (75 vs 64 of 82).

With Towns on the floor his team outscored opponents by +7.0 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, Towns $57.1M through 2027-28. Whether either fits a trade is a Trade Machine question, not a stat one.
