Where the gap is

from the numbers above

Jarrett Allen scored more in 2025-26, 0.3 points a game apart (15.4 vs 15.1), on Vucevic's heavier usage (21.3% vs 19.6%).

Allen is the more efficient scorer by true shooting, 66.9% to 57.4%; TS% folds threes and free throws into one number, so the gap survives shot-diet differences.

Playmaking goes to Vucevic (3.3 vs 1.8 assists), the glass to Allen (8.5 vs 8.4 rebounds).

Availability is part of the comparison: Vucevic played 8 more games (64 vs 56 of 82).

With Allen on the floor his team outscored opponents by +6.4 per 100 possessions, against -1.7 for Vucevic; on-court net rating carries the teammates with it, so read it next to PIE.

On the books for 2026-27: Allen $28.0M through 2028-29, Vucevic $2.4M through 2026-27. Whether either fits a trade is a Trade Machine question, not a stat one.
