Where the gap is

from the numbers above

Jarrett Allen scored more in 2025-26, 1.3 points a game apart (15.4 vs 14.1), on Allen's heavier usage (19.6% vs 18.6%).

Allen is the more efficient scorer by true shooting, 66.9% to 62.2%; TS% folds threes and free throws into one number, so the gap survives shot-diet differences.

Playmaking goes to Zubac (2.2 vs 1.8 assists), the glass to Zubac (10.6 vs 8.5 rebounds).

Availability is part of the comparison: Allen played 8 more games (56 vs 48 of 82).

With Allen on the floor his team outscored opponents by +6.4 per 100 possessions, against -2.4 for Zubac; on-court net rating carries the teammates with it, so read it next to PIE.

On the books for 2026-27: Zubac $20.3M through 2027-28, Allen $28.0M through 2028-29. Whether either fits a trade is a Trade Machine question, not a stat one.
