Where the gap is

from the numbers above

Devin Booker scored more in 2025-26, 4.6 points a game apart (26.1 vs 21.5), on Booker's heavier usage (30.7% vs 22.3%).

Murphy III is the more efficient scorer by true shooting, 61.3% 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 3.8 assists), the glass to Murphy III (5.7 vs 3.9 rebounds).

With Booker on the floor his team outscored opponents by +3.9 per 100 possessions, against -3.6 for Murphy III; 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, Murphy III $27.0M through 2028-29. Whether either fits a trade is a Trade Machine question, not a stat one.
