Where the gap is

from the numbers above

Jaylen Brown scored more in 2025-26, 6.5 points a game apart (28.7 vs 22.2), on Brown's heavier usage (35.1% vs 27.4%).

Efficiency is a wash: true shooting within a point of each other (57.3% vs 56.6%).

Playmaking goes to Banchero (5.2 vs 5.1 assists), the glass to Banchero (8.4 vs 6.9 rebounds).

With Brown on the floor his team outscored opponents by +6.5 per 100 possessions, against -0.2 for Banchero; 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, Banchero $41.5M through 2030-31. Whether either fits a trade is a Trade Machine question, not a stat one.
