Where the gap is

from the numbers above

Tyrese Maxey scored more in 2025-26, 2.3 points a game apart (28.3 vs 26.0), on Brunson's heavier usage (29.6% vs 28.6%).

Efficiency is a wash: true shooting within a point of each other (58.0% vs 58.8%).

Playmaking goes to Brunson (6.8 vs 6.6 assists), the glass to Maxey (4.1 vs 3.3 rebounds).

With Brunson on the floor his team outscored opponents by +6.1 per 100 possessions, against +1.5 for Maxey; 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, Maxey $40.8M through 2028-29. Whether either fits a trade is a Trade Machine question, not a stat one.
