How to read this chart
Each row
is one 2026-27 regular-season stat, Jackson on the left and Johnson Jr. on the right. The better number is in the club's color.
The bars
show each player's share of the two totals added together: a 60/40 split means one has half again as much as the other. Turnovers are flipped: fewer is better.
The five areas
at the top group the stats that belong together. An area goes to whoever wins more of its rows; the big number in each card is the key stat, with the real values.
Role and availability
(games, minutes, usage) describe the role, not how good a player is, so they are shown but not scored.
The raw count
Jackson 6, Johnson Jr. 10 rows won. Every row counts the same here, so read it as a curiosity, not a verdict.

How to read this chart

The bars
show each player's share of the two numbers added together, and the bigger number is in the club's color.
Record when playing
is the team's record in the games he suited up for, so missed games are left out.
