Where the gap is

from the numbers above

Drake Powell scored more in 2025-26, 0.1 points a game apart (6.5 vs 6.4), on Carter's heavier usage (16.6% vs 14.9%).

Carter is the more efficient scorer by true shooting, 53.7% to 52.1%; TS% folds threes and free throws into one number, so the gap survives shot-diet differences.

Playmaking goes to Carter (1.6 vs 1.4 assists), the glass to Powell (1.8 vs 1.7 rebounds).

Availability is part of the comparison: Powell played 10 more games (63 vs 53 of 82).

With Carter on the floor his team outscored opponents by -5.7 per 100 possessions, against -16.1 for Powell; on-court net rating carries the teammates with it, so read it next to PIE.

On the books for 2026-27: Powell $3.5M through 2028-29, Carter $2.4M through 2026-27. Whether either fits a trade is a Trade Machine question, not a stat one.
