Where the gap is

from the numbers above

Jaylen Brown scored more in 2025-26, 0.8 points a game apart (28.7 vs 27.9), on Brown's heavier usage (35.1% vs 32.6%).

Leonard is the more efficient scorer by true shooting, 62.9% to 57.3%; TS% folds threes and free throws into one number, so the gap survives shot-diet differences.

Playmaking goes to Brown (5.1 vs 3.6 assists), the glass to Brown (6.9 vs 6.4 rebounds).

With Leonard on the floor his team outscored opponents by +7.5 per 100 possessions, against +6.5 for Brown; on-court net rating carries the teammates with it, so read it next to PIE.

On the books for 2026-27: Brown $57.1M through 2028-29, Leonard $50.3M through 2028-29. Whether either fits a trade is a Trade Machine question, not a stat one.
