Where the gap is

from the numbers above

Donovan Mitchell scored more in 2025-26, 2.9 points a game apart (27.9 vs 25.0), on Wembanyama's heavier usage (31.6% vs 31.1%).

Wembanyama is the more efficient scorer by true shooting, 62.6% 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 3.1 assists), the glass to Wembanyama (11.5 vs 4.5 rebounds).

With Wembanyama on the floor his team outscored opponents by +17.0 per 100 possessions, against +7.2 for Mitchell; 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, Wembanyama $16.9M through 2031-32. Whether either fits a trade is a Trade Machine question, not a stat one.
