Where the gap is

from the numbers above

Trae Young scored more in 2025-26, 0.1 points a game apart (17.9 vs 17.8), on Green's heavier usage (30.9% vs 26.2%).

Young is the more efficient scorer by true shooting, 61.2% to 51.6%; TS% folds threes and free throws into one number, so the gap survives shot-diet differences.

Playmaking goes to Young (8.0 vs 2.8 assists), the glass to Green (3.6 vs 2.0 rebounds).

Availability is part of the comparison: Green played 17 more games (32 vs 15 of 82).

With Green on the floor his team outscored opponents by +0.7 per 100 possessions, against -8.1 for Young; on-court net rating carries the teammates with it, so read it next to PIE.

On the books for 2026-27: Green $36.3M through 2027-28, Young $49.5M through 2029-30. Whether either fits a trade is a Trade Machine question, not a stat one.
