Where the gap is

from the numbers above

Payton Pritchard scored more in 2025-26, 0.0 points a game apart (17.0 vs 17.0), on Giddey's heavier usage (23.8% vs 21.0%).

Pritchard is the more efficient scorer by true shooting, 58.4% to 56.2%; TS% folds threes and free throws into one number, so the gap survives shot-diet differences.

Playmaking goes to Giddey (9.1 vs 5.2 assists), the glass to Giddey (8.3 vs 3.9 rebounds).

Availability is part of the comparison: Pritchard played 25 more games (79 vs 54 of 82).

With Pritchard on the floor his team outscored opponents by +8.0 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, Pritchard $7.8M through 2027-28. Whether either fits a trade is a Trade Machine question, not a stat one.
