Where the gap is

from the numbers above

Kyle Kuzma scored more in 2025-26, 0.5 points a game apart (13.0 vs 12.5), on Jackson's heavier usage (23.0% vs 21.2%).

Jackson is the more efficient scorer by true shooting, 59.1% to 58.1%; TS% folds threes and free throws into one number, so the gap survives shot-diet differences.

Playmaking goes to Kuzma (2.7 vs 1.5 assists), the glass to Kuzma (4.5 vs 4.3 rebounds).

Availability is part of the comparison: Kuzma played 14 more games (69 vs 55 of 82).

With Jackson on the floor his team outscored opponents by -3.5 per 100 possessions, against -6.6 for Kuzma; on-court net rating carries the teammates with it, so read it next to PIE.

On the books for 2026-27: Jackson — through —, Kuzma $20.3M through 2026-27. Whether either fits a trade is a Trade Machine question, not a stat one.
