Where the gap is

from the numbers above

Jamal Murray scored more in 2025-26, 0.4 points a game apart (25.4 vs 25.0), on Wembanyama's heavier usage (31.6% vs 26.9%).

Efficiency is a wash: true shooting within a point of each other (62.2% vs 62.6%).

Playmaking goes to Murray (7.1 vs 3.1 assists), the glass to Wembanyama (11.5 vs 4.4 rebounds).

Availability is part of the comparison: Murray played 11 more games (75 vs 64 of 82).

With Wembanyama on the floor his team outscored opponents by +17.0 per 100 possessions, against +6.8 for Murray; on-court net rating carries the teammates with it, so read it next to PIE.

On the books for 2026-27: Murray $50.1M through 2028-29, Wembanyama $16.9M through 2031-32. Whether either fits a trade is a Trade Machine question, not a stat one.
