Where the gap is

from the numbers above

Jamal Murray scored more in 2025-26, 5.2 points a game apart (25.4 vs 20.2), on Brooks's heavier usage (27.9% vs 26.9%).

Murray is the more efficient scorer by true shooting, 62.2% to 54.0%; TS% folds threes and free throws into one number, so the gap survives shot-diet differences.

Playmaking goes to Murray (7.1 vs 1.8 assists), the glass to Murray (4.4 vs 3.6 rebounds).

Availability is part of the comparison: Murray played 19 more games (75 vs 56 of 82).

With Murray on the floor his team outscored opponents by +6.8 per 100 possessions, against -1.1 for Brooks; on-court net rating carries the teammates with it, so read it next to PIE.

On the books for 2026-27: Brooks $20.0M through 2029-30, Murray $50.1M through 2028-29. Whether either fits a trade is a Trade Machine question, not a stat one.
