Where the gap is

from the numbers above

Luka Doncic scored more in 2025-26, 5.6 points a game apart (33.5 vs 27.9), on Doncic's heavier usage (36.8% vs 31.1%).

Efficiency is a wash: true shooting within a point of each other (61.3% vs 61.6%).

Playmaking goes to Doncic (8.3 vs 5.7 assists), the glass to Doncic (7.7 vs 4.5 rebounds).

With Mitchell on the floor his team outscored opponents by +7.2 per 100 possessions, against +3.8 for Doncic; 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, Doncic $49.8M through 2028-29. Whether either fits a trade is a Trade Machine question, not a stat one.
