Where the gap is

from the numbers above

Nikola Topic scored more in 2025-26, 0.1 points a game apart (5.2 vs 5.1), on Topic's heavier usage (20.4% vs 17.5%).

Efficiency is a wash: true shooting within a point of each other (48.0% vs 48.9%).

Playmaking goes to Topic (4.4 vs 0.8 assists), the glass to Topic (1.9 vs 1.7 rebounds).

Availability is part of the comparison: Hawkins played 41 more games (51 vs 10 of 82).

With Hawkins on the floor his team outscored opponents by -9.8 per 100 possessions, against -13.7 for Topic; on-court net rating carries the teammates with it, so read it next to PIE.

On the books for 2026-27: Hawkins $7.0M through 2026-27, Topic $5.4M through 2027-28. Whether either fits a trade is a Trade Machine question, not a stat one.
