Where the gap is

from the numbers above

Kevin Durant scored more in 2025-26, 1.0 points a game apart (26.0 vs 25.0), on Wembanyama's heavier usage (31.6% vs 26.3%).

Durant is the more efficient scorer by true shooting, 64.1% to 62.6%; TS% folds threes and free throws into one number, so the gap survives shot-diet differences.

Playmaking goes to Durant (4.8 vs 3.1 assists), the glass to Wembanyama (11.5 vs 5.5 rebounds).

Availability is part of the comparison: Durant played 14 more games (78 vs 64 of 82).

With Wembanyama on the floor his team outscored opponents by +17.0 per 100 possessions, against +5.5 for Durant; on-court net rating carries the teammates with it, so read it next to PIE.

On the books for 2026-27: Durant $43.9M through 2027-28, Wembanyama $16.9M through 2031-32. Whether either fits a trade is a Trade Machine question, not a stat one.
