Where the gap is

from the numbers above

Jalen Wilson scored more in 2025-26, 0.4 points a game apart (6.4 vs 6.0), on Wilson's heavier usage (17.7% vs 14.7%).

Salaun is the more efficient scorer by true shooting, 62.9% to 53.6%; TS% folds threes and free throws into one number, so the gap survives shot-diet differences.

Playmaking goes to Wilson (0.9 vs 0.7 assists), the glass to Salaun (4.0 vs 2.1 rebounds).

Availability is part of the comparison: Wilson played 17 more games (54 vs 37 of 82).

With Salaun on the floor his team outscored opponents by +2.1 per 100 possessions, against -10.9 for Wilson; on-court net rating carries the teammates with it, so read it next to PIE.

On the books for 2026-27: Wilson — through —, Salaun $8.2M through 2027-28. Whether either fits a trade is a Trade Machine question, not a stat one.
