from the numbers above

Jaren Jackson Jr. scored more in 2025-26, 0.8 points a game apart (19.4 vs 18.6), on Jackson Jr.'s heavier usage (25.3% vs 22.8%).

Grant is the more efficient scorer by true shooting, 60.8% to 57.6%; TS% folds threes and free throws into one number, so the gap survives shot-diet differences.

Playmaking goes to Grant (2.1 vs 2.0 assists), the glass to Jackson Jr. (5.7 vs 3.5 rebounds).

Availability is part of the comparison: Grant played 9 more games (57 vs 48 of 82).

With Grant on the floor his team outscored opponents by -0.3 per 100 possessions, against -2.0 for Jackson Jr.; on-court net rating carries the teammates with it, so read it next to PIE.

On the books for 2026-27: Jackson Jr. $49.0M through 2029-30, Grant $34.2M through 2027-28. Whether either fits a trade is a Trade Machine question, not a stat one.
