Where the gap is

from the numbers above

Kawhi Leonard scored more in 2025-26, 1.8 points a game apart (27.9 vs 26.1), on Leonard's heavier usage (32.6% vs 30.7%).

Leonard is the more efficient scorer by true shooting, 62.9% 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 3.6 assists), the glass to Leonard (6.4 vs 3.9 rebounds).

With Leonard on the floor his team outscored opponents by +7.5 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, Leonard $50.3M through 2028-29. Whether either fits a trade is a Trade Machine question, not a stat one.
