Where the gap is

from the numbers above

Jaylen Brown scored more in 2025-26, 3.7 points a game apart (28.7 vs 25.0), on Brown's heavier usage (35.1% vs 31.6%).

Wembanyama is the more efficient scorer by true shooting, 62.6% 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 3.1 assists), the glass to Wembanyama (11.5 vs 6.9 rebounds).

With Wembanyama on the floor his team outscored opponents by +17.0 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, Wembanyama $16.9M through 2031-32. Whether either fits a trade is a Trade Machine question, not a stat one.
