Where the gap is

from the numbers above

Donovan Mitchell scored more in 2025-26, 2.5 points a game apart (27.9 vs 25.4), on Mitchell's heavier usage (31.1% vs 26.9%).

Efficiency is a wash: true shooting within a point of each other (61.3% vs 62.2%).

Playmaking goes to Murray (7.1 vs 5.7 assists), the glass to Mitchell (4.5 vs 4.4 rebounds).

With Mitchell on the floor his team outscored opponents by +7.2 per 100 possessions, against +6.8 for Murray; on-court net rating carries the teammates with it, so read it next to PIE.

On the books for 2026-27: Mitchell $50.1M through 2030-31, Murray $50.1M through 2028-29. Whether either fits a trade is a Trade Machine question, not a stat one.
