Where the gap is

from the numbers above

Victor Wembanyama scored more in 2025-26, 1.4 points a game apart (25.0 vs 23.6), on Wembanyama's heavier usage (31.6% vs 27.9%).

Wembanyama is the more efficient scorer by true shooting, 62.6% to 61.0%; TS% folds threes and free throws into one number, so the gap survives shot-diet differences.

Playmaking goes to Harden (8.0 vs 3.1 assists), the glass to Wembanyama (11.5 vs 4.8 rebounds).

With Wembanyama on the floor his team outscored opponents by +17.0 per 100 possessions, against +1.8 for Harden; on-court net rating carries the teammates with it, so read it next to PIE.

On the books for 2026-27: Harden $30.6M through 2028-29, Wembanyama $16.9M through 2031-32. Whether either fits a trade is a Trade Machine question, not a stat one.
