Where the gap is

from the numbers above

Devin Booker scored more in 2025-26, 3.9 points a game apart (26.1 vs 22.2), on Booker's heavier usage (30.7% vs 27.4%).

Booker is the more efficient scorer by true shooting, 58.5% to 56.6%; TS% folds threes and free throws into one number, so the gap survives shot-diet differences.

Playmaking goes to Booker (6.0 vs 5.2 assists), the glass to Banchero (8.4 vs 3.9 rebounds).

Availability is part of the comparison: Banchero played 8 more games (72 vs 64 of 82).

With Booker on the floor his team outscored opponents by +3.9 per 100 possessions, against -0.2 for Banchero; 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, Banchero $41.5M through 2030-31. Whether either fits a trade is a Trade Machine question, not a stat one.
