Where the gap is

from the numbers above

Stephen Curry scored more in 2025-26, 5.5 points a game apart (26.6 vs 21.1), on Curry's heavier usage (30.8% vs 25.8%).

Curry is the more efficient scorer by true shooting, 63.7% to 58.5%; TS% folds threes and free throws into one number, so the gap survives shot-diet differences.

Playmaking goes to Randle (5.0 vs 4.7 assists), the glass to Randle (6.7 vs 3.6 rebounds).

Availability is part of the comparison: Randle played 36 more games (79 vs 43 of 82).

With Randle on the floor his team outscored opponents by +4.0 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: Randle $33.3M through 2027-28, Curry $62.6M through 2026-27. Whether either fits a trade is a Trade Machine question, not a stat one.
