Where the gap is

from the numbers above

Donovan Mitchell scored more in 2025-26, 1.3 points a game apart (27.9 vs 26.6), on Mitchell's heavier usage (31.1% vs 30.8%).

Curry is the more efficient scorer by true shooting, 63.7% 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 4.7 assists), the glass to Mitchell (4.5 vs 3.6 rebounds).

Availability is part of the comparison: Mitchell played 27 more games (70 vs 43 of 82).

With Mitchell on the floor his team outscored opponents by +7.2 per 100 possessions, against +2.8 for Curry; 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, Curry $62.6M through 2028-29. Whether either fits a trade is a Trade Machine question, not a stat one.
