Where the gap is

from the numbers above

Luka Doncic scored more in 2025-26, 5.9 points a game apart (33.5 vs 27.6), on Doncic's heavier usage (36.8% vs 35.8%).

Antetokounmpo is the more efficient scorer by true shooting, 65.8% to 61.6%; TS% folds threes and free throws into one number, so the gap survives shot-diet differences.

Playmaking goes to Doncic (8.3 vs 5.4 assists), the glass to Antetokounmpo (9.8 vs 7.7 rebounds).

Availability is part of the comparison: Doncic played 28 more games (64 vs 36 of 82).

With Antetokounmpo on the floor his team outscored opponents by +4.4 per 100 possessions, against +3.8 for Doncic; on-court net rating carries the teammates with it, so read it next to PIE.

On the books for 2026-27: Antetokounmpo $58.5M through 2027-28, Doncic $49.8M through 2028-29. Whether either fits a trade is a Trade Machine question, not a stat one.
