Where the gap is

from the numbers above

Tyrese Maxey scored more in 2025-26, 0.4 points a game apart (28.3 vs 27.9), on Mitchell's heavier usage (31.1% vs 28.6%).

Mitchell is the more efficient scorer by true shooting, 61.3% to 58.8%; TS% folds threes and free throws into one number, so the gap survives shot-diet differences.

Playmaking goes to Maxey (6.6 vs 5.7 assists), the glass to Mitchell (4.5 vs 4.1 rebounds).

With Mitchell on the floor his team outscored opponents by +7.2 per 100 possessions, against +1.5 for Maxey; 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, Maxey $40.8M through 2028-29. Whether either fits a trade is a Trade Machine question, not a stat one.
