Jalen Duren scored more in 2025-26, 1.3 points a game apart (19.5 vs 18.2), on Duren's heavier usage (23.1% vs 22.1%).

Duren is the more efficient scorer by true shooting, 68.8% to 59.6%; TS% folds threes and free throws into one number, so the gap survives shot-diet differences.

With Duren on the floor his team outscored opponents by +11.8 per 100 possessions, against +5.7 for Mobley; on-court net rating carries the teammates with it, so read it next to PIE.

On the books for 2026-27: Mobley $50.1M through 2029-30, Duren — through —. Whether either fits a trade is a Trade Machine question, not a stat one.
