Where the gap is

from the numbers above

Luka Doncic scored more in 2025-26, 7.4 points a game apart (33.5 vs 26.1), on Doncic's heavier usage (36.8% vs 30.7%).

Doncic is the more efficient scorer by true shooting, 61.6% to 58.5%; TS% folds threes and free throws into one number, so the gap survives shot-diet differences.

Playmaking goes to Doncic (8.3 vs 6.0 assists), the glass to Doncic (7.7 vs 3.9 rebounds).

With Booker on the floor his team outscored opponents by +3.9 per 100 possessions, against +3.8 for Doncic; 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, Doncic $49.8M through 2028-29. Whether either fits a trade is a Trade Machine question, not a stat one.
