Where the gap is

from the numbers above

Kevin Love scored more in 2025-26, 0.0 points a game apart (6.7 vs 6.7), on Love's heavier usage (16.1% vs 15.2%).

Jackson is the more efficient scorer by true shooting, 65.3% to 56.8%; TS% folds threes and free throws into one number, so the gap survives shot-diet differences.

Playmaking goes to Love (1.8 vs 0.9 assists), the glass to Love (5.8 vs 5.3 rebounds).

Availability is part of the comparison: Jackson played 18 more games (55 vs 37 of 82).

With Jackson on the floor his team outscored opponents by -2.9 per 100 possessions, against -6.7 for Love; on-court net rating carries the teammates with it, so read it next to PIE.

On the books for 2026-27: Jackson $7.0M through 2027-28, Love — through —. Whether either fits a trade is a Trade Machine question, not a stat one.
