Where the gap is

from the numbers above

Jaylen Brown scored more in 2025-26, 2.1 points a game apart (28.7 vs 26.6), on Brown's heavier usage (35.1% vs 30.8%).

Curry is the more efficient scorer by true shooting, 63.7% 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 4.7 assists), the glass to Brown (6.9 vs 3.6 rebounds).

Availability is part of the comparison: Brown played 28 more games (71 vs 43 of 82).

With Brown on the floor his team outscored opponents by +6.5 per 100 possessions, against +2.8 for Curry; 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, Curry $62.6M through 2026-27. Whether either fits a trade is a Trade Machine question, not a stat one.
