Donovan Mitchell vs Kevin Durant

Donovan Mitchell scored more in 2025-26, 1.9 points a game apart (27.9 vs 26.0), on Mitchell's heavier usage (31.1% vs 26.3%).

Durant is the more efficient scorer by true shooting, 64.1% to 61.3%; TS% folds threes and free throws into one number, so the gap survives shot-diet differences.

Playmaking goes to Mitchell (5.7 vs 4.8 assists), the glass to Durant (5.5 vs 4.5 rebounds).

Availability is part of the comparison: Durant played 8 more games (78 vs 70 of 82).

With Mitchell on the floor his team outscored opponents by +7.2 per 100 possessions, against +5.5 for Durant; 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, Durant $43.9M through 2027-28. Whether either fits a trade is a Trade Machine question, not a stat one.
