Where the gap is

from the numbers above

Donovan Mitchell scored more in 2025-26, 4.3 points a game apart (27.9 vs 23.6), on Mitchell's heavier usage (31.1% vs 27.5%).

Efficiency is a wash: true shooting within a point of each other (61.3% vs 60.9%).

Playmaking goes to George (6.1 vs 5.7 assists), the glass to Mitchell (4.5 vs 3.7 rebounds).

Availability is part of the comparison: Mitchell played 16 more games (70 vs 54 of 82).

With Mitchell on the floor his team outscored opponents by +7.2 per 100 possessions, against -8.6 for George; 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, George $6.6M through 2031-32. Whether either fits a trade is a Trade Machine question, not a stat one.
