Where the gap is

from the numbers above

Jaylen Brown scored more in 2025-26, 2.7 points a game apart (28.7 vs 26.0), on Brown's heavier usage (35.1% vs 29.6%).

Efficiency is a wash: true shooting within a point of each other (58.0% vs 57.3%).

Playmaking goes to Brunson (6.8 vs 5.1 assists), the glass to Brown (6.9 vs 3.3 rebounds).

With Brown on the floor his team outscored opponents by +6.5 per 100 possessions, against +6.1 for Brunson; on-court net rating carries the teammates with it, so read it next to PIE.

On the books for 2026-27: Brunson $37.7M through 2028-29, Brown $57.1M through 2028-29. Whether either fits a trade is a Trade Machine question, not a stat one.
