Where the gap is

from the numbers above

Jaylen Brown scored more in 2025-26, 0.8 points a game apart (28.7 vs 27.9), on Brown's heavier usage (35.1% vs 31.1%).

Mitchell is the more efficient scorer by true shooting, 61.3% to 57.3%; TS% folds threes and free throws into one number, so the gap survives shot-diet differences.

Playmaking goes to Mitchell (5.7 vs 5.1 assists), the glass to Brown (6.9 vs 4.5 rebounds).

With Mitchell on the floor his team outscored opponents by +7.2 per 100 possessions, against +6.5 for Brown; 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, Brown $57.1M through 2028-29. Whether either fits a trade is a Trade Machine question, not a stat one.
