Where the gap is

from the numbers above

Kevin Porter Jr. scored more in 2025-26, 0.4 points a game apart (17.4 vs 17.0), on Giddey's heavier usage (23.8% vs 23.6%).

Efficiency is a wash: true shooting within a point of each other (56.2% vs 56.7%).

Playmaking goes to Giddey (9.1 vs 7.4 assists), the glass to Giddey (8.3 vs 5.2 rebounds).

Availability is part of the comparison: Giddey played 16 more games (54 vs 38 of 82).

With Porter Jr. on the floor his team outscored opponents by -4.7 per 100 possessions, against -5.0 for Giddey; on-court net rating carries the teammates with it, so read it next to PIE.

On the books for 2026-27: Giddey $25.0M through 2028-29, Porter Jr. $5.4M through 2026-27. Whether either fits a trade is a Trade Machine question, not a stat one.
